Bang Bang Tofu and Cauliflower Bowl

Bang Bang Tofu and Cauliflower Bowl

Have you ever had Bang Bang Shrimp? It’s a dish popularized by the Bonefish Grill and it’s one of the most popular appetizers on the menu! It’s also not exactly healthy, with a creamy, spicy and sweet mayonnaise based sauce and and fried shrimp.Our whole food plant based Bang Bang Tofu has less fat and is made with plant based ingredients like tofu and cauliflower instead of seafood, and healthy whole grain brown rice!

The tofu and cauliflower are completely cooked without oil. This recipe teaches you how to roast them in your oven with amazing results! The secret is to use parchment paper on the sheet pan to prevent sticking, rather than the traditional coating of oil. It works really well! I also recommend drizzling a little water over the cauliflower to help keep it from drying out in the oven.

We recommend serving the Bang Bang Tofu with brown rice, but it’s delicious with sticky white rice or even quinoa as well.

Other veggies I recommend using in this recipe:

  • broccoli
  • summer squash
  • butternut squash
  • sweet potato
  • yams
  • broccolini
  • radishes

If you don’t have sriracha, sweet chili sauce will work, or any other hot sauce that you love. If it’s a super hot sauce, add a little at a time to taste so it doesn’t get too hot!
