Delicious Crunch Roll Bowl Recipe With Spicy Mayo Dressing

This crunch roll bowl is a delicious combination of teriyaki browned tofu, served over a bed of rice, and topped with edamame, cucumber, avocado, and a little toss of crunchy onions. Top it off with a drizzle of spicy mayo dressing and you’ve got a tasty crunch roll bowl that you’re going to fall in love with.

When it comes to sushi, I’m not much of a fan of the fish-based rolls, BUT I do love a good California crunch roll! This recipe is quick and easy to make and the flavor is to die for.

If you’re not a tofu lover, you can substitute it for portobello mushrooms, or just leave it out completely. If you’ve never tried tofu, I suggest you give it a whirl. The teriyaki sauce really does make it taste good and it is a good source of protein.

Preparing the rice for this CRUNCH ROLL BOWL dish can be done a lot faster using the Instant Pot (my favorite appliance ever)!

Crunch Roll Bowl Ingredients

1 block extra firm tofu
1 cup rice, uncooked
2 cups frozen shelled edamame
1 cucumber, finely diced
1 avocado, cut into chunks or slices
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced (if you want more heat)
a swish of neutral oil (avocado or olive oil)
½ cup teriyaki or a savory-sweet Asian-inspired sauce
½ cup crunchy fried onions, crushed (the kind you buy in a carton when you’re making green bean casserole).

Spicy Mayo Ingredients

½ cup mayo
2-3 Tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Crunch Roll Bowl Instructions

1- Prepare the spicy mayo by simply mixing the mayo and sriracha together.

2- Prep the tofu: Press the water out of the tofu. (Here is a great video showing how to do that if you don’t know how).

3- Cook the rice (Use the Instant Pot if you have one)!

4- Cook edamame according to package directions.

5- Cook the tofu: Cut the tofu into cubes. Heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry until golden brown. Add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce, just enough to coat the tofu, and stir fry again until golden brown.

6- Assemble bowls with rice, tofu, more teriyaki sauce, edamame, cucumber, crunchy onions, and spicy mayo.

Enjoy!

Yum, Yum!

Salsa Infused Black Bean Burgers / Yummy Meatless Recipe

These yummy black bean burgers are infused with salsa and are one of the best meatless burgers around. They’re easy to make, cost-effective, and simply delicious.

We have been eating a little healthier at our house lately, and have been cutting back on the meat we eat. We have gone totally vegetarian in the past but for some time now have been eating meat, too much meat for my liking. I’m not saying I want to be totally vegetarian again but would like to be more PLANT BASED in my food consumption.

If you want an interesting read or something interesting to watch regarding food, check this out: FORKS OVER KNIVES. You can get the book here or watch the video here.

I’m not saying this is “the perfect way to eat” but it does have some good nuggets to consider.

Oh, food, such a quandary and complicated topic. We can discuss my food journey in another post. Perhaps some of you can relate to the frustration in knowing what way to eat. There are so many theories and philosophies when it comes to food.

Regardless, if you’re wanting something good to eat and want to try something new, give this black bean burger recipe a whirl.

Years ago we tried this recipe and it was definitely a keeper! I can’t believe I haven’t shared it until now. When I first made these black bean burgers, my 16-year-old son (now 26) really liked them. He came home from skiing one day and was trying to find something to eat. I had made a double batch of these burgers and had frozen what we didn’t eat. He popped one reluctantly in the frying pan (another interesting healthy food) to warm up and ended up getting another one out to eat. The next day after school he had another one for a snack. If a picky 16-year-old thinks they are tasty, perhaps you will too.

Put them on a toasted bun with some lettuce, tomatoes and the usual burger condiments, and you won’t miss the beef at all. I like to make up a double batch and freeze them in a zip bag. They make great quick snacks and another easy quick meal!

Black Bean Burger Ingredients

½ cup prepared salsa
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
1 cup well-crushed tortilla chips (You can substitute slightly blended oatmeal)
½ cup grated white onion
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or (optional vegan alternative)
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
8 burger buns, toasted

Condiments:

½ cup prepared guacamole
8 slices tomato slices
1 cup sprouts
½ cup thinly sliced red onion

Black Bean Burgers Instructions

Place salsa in a fine-mesh strainer and stir a few times to drain excess liquid.
Crush tortilla chips. I like to put chips in a zip bag and mash them with my fist to crush them. These are blue corn chips in the photo. I don’t usually use blue chips. (This is a good way to use up those crushed chips in the bottom of the bag).
Mash beans with a potato masher in a large bowl until no whole ones remain. Stir in the drained salsa, crushed tortilla chips, grated onion, egg, mayonnaise, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Let stand for 10-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Form the bean mixture into 8 burgers about 3 inches wide (1/3 cup each).
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add 3-4 burgers and cook until browned and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining oil and burgers.
Serve the burgers on buns with guacamole, tomato slices, sprouts, and red onion.

Black Bean Burger Tip

Individually wrap cooked burgers and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Microwave or toast to reheat.

Quinoa & Bean Salad | Lime Cilantro Dressing

Are you ready to open your mind and palate to a new brightly colored and yummy salad? This versatile and delicious quinoa & black bean salad is just the ticket. Loaded with nutrition and flavor, this salad can be eaten alone or as a side dish.

We (my husband and I) have been trying to step up our healthy eating game over the past month. A more plant-based way of eating is what we’re shooting for. Of course, we go through cycles. Years ago we were totally plant-based eaters for almost 2 years. Slowly we started adding things back into our diet and bam, now we have to go through withdrawals again. I LOVE CHEESE!

Food is a funny thing. So many philosophies and theories out there, but what I always come back to is to and feel good about is eating whole foods. I love Michael Pollan’s way of thinking about food. He summed it up in seven words-

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”

If you want a good read about how he thinks, this is a good book.

The base of this salad is quinoa. Not familiar with quinoa? You can read more about the awesomeness of this little seed here in THIS POST. As for now, I hope you’ll give it a whirl in this salad recipe. It is so easy to make, especially if you have an Instant Pot, and it is so versatile.

Let’s get back to the black bean & quinoa salad.

I will list the ingredients; however, you can add or take away whatever you please. This recipe is so easy to modify to your liking, adding different veggies, or herbs as you like. I will give you some yummy suggestions
