Instructions As early as possible (the day before is perfect), drain the tofu and press as much water out of it as possible. My go-to strategy for doing this is to wrap it in a dish cloth, then set it in the fridge with a heavy plate on top. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a blender or food processor, whirl together all the ingredients for the marinade/dressing. Pour it into a jar or other container. Put the tofu cubes in a bowl or resealable bag along with about half of the peanut sauce. Marinate for 30 mins, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scatter the marinated tofu pieces out onto the parchment in a single layer. Bake for 30 mins or until crispy and golden, flipping after about 15 minutes. Meanwhile cook the rice according to package directions. Lightly steam the bok choy for 2-3 minutes or until bright green and chop all other ingredients as indicated above. When the rice is ready, mix in the fresh herbs and divide it between 2 bowls. Followed with the steamed bok choy, carrots and sliced avocado.
Distribute the tofu between the two bowls and top with green onion, sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. Drizzle additional peanut sauce on top and serve.
