Hey hey how’s it going family! Long time no see, as per usual. I’m back from the dead (how many times have I been resurrected now? I feel like Dean Winchester from Supernatural) with a brand spanking new recipe for my Vegan Barbecue Bowl with Smoked Tofu. We just entered Spring in Australia a couple of days ago, so it’s time to stop crying myself to sleep in bed because it’s so cold, and time to start blogging again! Whoop de doo!
This time around, I bring you an extremely simple, healthy and delicious meal that you can prepare in under half an hour and that has all the goodness in the world (or what little is left of goodness on this godforsaken planet). I’ve seen a couple of Vegan BBQ Bowls around the internet, so I thought I’d try and create my own version to satisfy those tingling tastebuds. I have survived on a diet of pure trash all throughout Winter, so it’s also time for me to clean up my damn act!
This Vegan Barbecue Bowl couldn’t be any easier to prepare. We start off with cooking some Brown Rice (or any rice of your choice), and marinading some Smoked Tofu in a Barbecue Sauce mixture overnight. All ya gots to do is prepare your Tofu before heading to bed and you’re ready to go the next day. I have opted for using Smoked Tofu just to add an additional layer of smokey goodness to this dish, but feel free to use regular Firm Tofu if you can’t find the smoked variety. Once your Tofu has sat overnight, all you have to do is grill it up, either on a barbecue or on a grill pan.If you have a fancy and professional grill like ones mentioned in this Blaze Grill reviews, feel free to use it.One of my friends recently purchased an infrared barbecue which is absolutely out of this world cool, but due to space constraints in my apartment, I’ve had to use a grill pan instead.
