I must admit I didn't know about wafu sauce until my friend Lola told me about it, and I just had to try it! It's SO GOOD 😍 I created this fairly simple Japanese-inspired bowl to showcase the wafu sauce, which is originally from Japan! Slightly sticky rice, marinated vegetables: red cabbage, cucumber, and carrot, grilled tofu, cilantro, and of course, the SAUCE ✨

Steps

Peel the carrots. Slice the red cabbage finely. Using a vegetable peeler, create strips of cucumber and carrots. Marinate these 3 vegetables with lemon juice and some salt for 15 minutes.
Place the rice in a saucepan with water up to 2 centimeters above the rice. Cook until all the water has evaporated. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, cut the tofu into cubes. In a pan, heat the ingredients for the tofu marinade. Add the tofu and cook until it is grilled and the liquid has evaporated.
Mix all the sauce ingredients together.
In bowls, serve the rice, marinated vegetables, grilled tofu, a little cilantro, and some wafu sauce!

NotesFor a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
