- 2 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 (10-ounce) package extra firm, high-protein tofu, cubed
Turmeric Hemp Hearts Topping
- 2 cups high fiber, unsweetened cereal (i.e., Fiber One Original cereal or All Bran cereal)
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts (or hemp seeds)
- 1-inch piece fresh turmeric (or 1 teaspoon ground, dried turmeric)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch black pepper and kosher salt

Salad:

Instructions
- To make Marinated Tofu: Mix together sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red chili pepper flakes, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small dish. Place cubed, drained extra firm tofu in a shallow dish, and pour marinade over the tofu. Chill for at least 1 hour, stirring tofu in marinade every 15 minutes in order to evenly distribute it.
- While marinated tofu is chilling, make the Turmeric Hemp Hearts Topping: Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine high fiber cereal, hemp seeds, turmeric, garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper and salt, and sesame oil in a medium bowl and stir well. Turn out on a baking sheet and spread evenly. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Makes about 2 cups.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Salad for the power bowls: Drain the marinated tofu, reserving the marinade. Place chopped kale in a medium bowl and toss with the reserved marinade, mixing well with hands, massaging marinade into the leaves. Divide chopped, dressed kale among 4 large individual (3-cup) bowls. Top each bowl with ¼ of the bell pepper slices, 1 sliced radish, ¼ of the avocado slices, and ¼ of the marinated tofu cubes. Garnish with 1/4 of the Turmeric Hemp Hearts Topping (about 1/2 cup). Serve immediately.
- Makes 4 individual, entrée-sized power bowls.
