Make the dressing:

Add all the ingredients in a mason jar, shake until smooth.

Make the base:

Brown rice or quinoa (according to cooking instructions)

Make the tofu:

Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds, fry until golden on all sides. Let cool.

Prep the veggies:

Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil. Add the assorted green vegetables that require cooking, blanch for 1 minute. Drain and immerse the veggies in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat the veggies dry. Heat the edamame in a small pan with a little bit of water until heated all the way through.

Build the Buddha bowls:

Spoon about ½ cup cooked whole grain or rice into four bowls. Divide the green veggies and fried tofu between each portion. Generously garnish with herbs, seeds and green onion. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
