A great dish for using up leftovers in the fridge. Use leftover cooked quinoa or rice or for a lower carb version use cauliflower rice. Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats and the antioxidant vitamin E that helps protect your skin from oxidative damage.

(serves 2)

Ingredients:
100g firm tofu, cut into large cubes
2 tbsp tamari soy sauce
1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
Handful of chopped kale
½ red onion, diced
80g cooked quinoa or rice
¹⁄3 cucumber, sliced thinly
1 carrot, peeled and grated
Handful of sprouted seeds
Handful of sea vegetable mix, soaked then drained
1 sheet or nori crumbled
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
½ avocado, sliced
Tamari soy sauce, to serve

Method:
Place the tofu pieces in the tamari soy sauce and leave to marinate for 10 minutes

Heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the tofu on each side until golden. Place the tofu onto kitchen paper to drain.

Add the kale and red onion to the pan and wilt for a couple of minutes.

Divide the quinoa, rice or cauliflower rice between two bowls. Arrange the tofu and vegetables between the two bowls then scatter over nori and sesame seeds.

Drizzle with tamari to serve.
