Poke Bowl ingredients

The first step is to marinate the tofu. Cut the tofu into small cubes and set aside.
Into a medium-sized bowl, place all marinade ingredients except the cornflour. Gently toss in the tofu and then let it sit in the fridge while you prep all the other ingredients.
Next, make the peanut sauce. Add all the ingredients into a jar with a lid or a jug. Whisk together, if you have a lidded jar shake vigorously to combine. If you find it too thick then add more hot water in small amounts.
Cook the brown basmati rice, following the instructions on the packet. While the rice is cooking, prep the other vegetables for the bowl, slice the cabbages thinly and julienne the carrot.
Grab the marinated tofu, sprinkle over the cornflour and gently mix through. In a nonstick pan on medium heat cook the tofu, turning regularly to avoid sticking.
Prepare the bowls spreading the rice evenly amongst all. Arrange all other ingredients around the bowl then drizzle over the satay sauce. Sprinkle with your desired topping, in my case I used sesame seeds.
