INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the quinoa speckled sushi rice

Add quinoa speckled sushi rice, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until grains are tender and water is absorbed, 13 to 15 minutes.

2
Prepare the crunchy date slaw

Add dates, lime juice, red cabbage, just 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Toss the crunchy date slaw.

3
Prepare the coconut crust

Add remaining sesame seeds, toasted coconut, and panko breadcrumbs to a plate and mix.

4
Crisp the tofu

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water and whisk. Toss tofu in the cornstarch mixture, remove, and press into the coconut breadcrumbs. Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add breaded tofu and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt, and cover loosely to keep warm. TIP: If the breaded tofu is getting too dark, lower the heat slightly.

5
Serve

Divide the rice and crunchy date slaw between plates. Top with coconut tofu and serve with peanut sauce for dipping. Bon appétit!
