How to build a high-protein plant-based grain bowl that actually satisfies.
In short: This guide breaks down a macro-friendly Buddha bowl featuring crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, and a spicy peanut soy sauce dressing. It provides a structured approach to plant-based meal prep that hits 36 grams of protein and 620 calories per serving.
The meal centers on extra firm tofu, which requires draining for at least 10 minutes to ensure the right texture. After marinating in soy sauce and ginger, the tofu is roasted at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
The bowl combines this protein base with multicolored quinoa, massaged red cabbage, and pickled onions. A homemade spicy peanut dressing, blended with ginger and garlic, ties the components together. This recipe is designed for efficiency, with the dressing and pickled onions yielding four servings each.
