Continuing with fantastic bowl meals in January, here is another simple one. The marinade is the star of the dish. It is garlicky, spicy and great to bake tofu with. Cook some noodles and blanch some greens with the noodles. Marinate the tofu and carrots, then bake. Use the same marinade as a dressing for the bowl. Add other roasted veggies of choice. Add some fresh basil, mint or cilantro and sprouts to finish. 

Easy, Spicy, Garlicky, Delicious!

Baked Chili Garlic Tofu, Carrot, Chard and Noodle Bowls. Easy Weeknight Meal. Add some toasted cashews, sprouts and other veggies of choice. Gluten-free Nut-free Vegan Recipe. 
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time40 mins
Course: Bowl, Main
Cuisine: Asian, Gluten-free, Vegan
Servings: 4
Calories: 384kcal
Author: Vegan Richa

Ingredients

  • 12 to 14 oz tofu pressed for 15 minutes, sliced into an inch and half length slices.

Marinade and Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup (58 ml) soy sauce , use tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 to 2 tbsp sriracha or other asian chile-garlic sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) miso

Bowl:

  • 1 cup (128 g) or more veggies such as sliced carrots or broccolini
  • 8 oz vermicelli or maifun ricce noodles (I use brown rice or white rice maifun)
  • a couple of leaves of chard, hard stems removed and chopped

Instructions

  • Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture. 
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Slice the tofu and marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Line a sheet with parchment. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 deg C). Fish out the tofu slices and place on the parchment lined sheet. Slice veggies like carrots, beet, broccolini and place on the sheet. Drizzle some of the marinade on  the veggies.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 mins. or  until the tofu is crisp and veggies roasted.
  • Meanwhile, cook the vermicelli noodles according to instruction on the package (Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the noodles). Add chopped greens to the pot as well to blanch.
  • Plate the cooked noodles, blanched greens in a bowl. Top with tofu and veggies. drizzle remaining marinade and serve. Garnish with cilantro or mint. Add some sprouts or roasted nuts for variation.

    This was delicious! I made it tonight with kale and rice instead of noodles. My kids and husband liked it, too – definitely a keeper. I think I will double the sauce next time because it was so good we had to make more…

    I made this last night but sadly the tofu was super soggy (it had been pressed dry for half an hour. i also tried turning up the oven temp. and baking for longer) :(. also there was hardly any remaining marinade afterwards for the noodles and it was all very dry. it did look very pretty though .

      Hmm, I am not sure. Did you fish the tofu out of the marinade and then bake? or maybe it was a different kind of tofu?

    Hi Richa! I made this last night and made it as a vegetable bowl and skipped the vermicelli. Delicious!! Absolutely fantastic recipe, Richa! Thank you for your creative and nutritious recipes! I am totally in awe of your cooking ingenuity!

    I take my own lunch to work every day – always some kind of spectacular salad. I’m going to try cooking the tofu and carrots, storing them in the fridge and then adding them to my salad. Have you tried this before?

    It’s yummy! I marinated the tofu for a couple of days just because I didn’t get a chance to cook it sooner. It’s really flavorful. Also, I doubled the sauce so I can drizzle it on the noodle. I’ll make this again. Thank you for the recipe.

    I made this dish last night and I have the leftovers in my lunchbox at work today. The sauce is amazing! I didn’t have chard so I used kale (not the best substitute) and I added green onions and roasted peanuts. I also used brown rice instead of noodles. Next time I will use the chard and noodles and maybe add some roasted brussels sprouts. Richa your recipes are my favorite! Keep them coming please!

    Made a version of this tonight…absolutely delicious. Used different noodles and veggies, which worked fine. My only complaint is the serving size…this serves 2 better than it serves 4. Or maybe we are just really big eaters?😂
