Ingredients
  

  • 200 g firm tofu well-drained and cut into cubes
  • 150 g sushi rice or short-grain rice
  • 1 mango peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 avocado peeled and sliced
  • 1 small cucumber cut into half-moons
  • 2 green onions finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • A few leaves of cilantro for garnish

For the tofu marinade:

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons harissa (adjust according to desired spice level)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

Marinade preparation:

  • In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, harissa, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  • Marinating the tofu:
  • Cut the tofu into medium-sized cubes and add them to the marinade bowl. Gently mix so the tofu cubes are well coated.
  • Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally longer if you have time.

Cooking the rice:

  • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.

Preparing the other ingredients:

  • While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients: cut the mango into small cubes, the avocado into slices, and the cucumber into half-moons. Finely slice the green onions. Set aside.

Cooking the tofu:

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes (no need to add extra oil) and sauté until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • During cooking, add some of the marinade to the skillet to enhance the flavors and allow the tofu to caramelize slightly.

Cooking the remaining marinade:

  • Bring the remaining marinade to a boil for a few minutes to sterilize it. Allow it to cool down.

Assembling the poke bowl:

  • In bowls, place a base of cooled rice. Arrange the tofu, mango cubes, avocado slices, cucumber rounds, and green onions harmoniously.
  • Drizzle over the marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and add a few leaves of cilantro.
