Hello Stability Nutrition Friends,
Happy Wednesday!
With school soon back in session, schedules filling up, and summer winding down, it's more important than ever to have nutritious meals that come together quickly and don't compromise on flavor. Whether you're juggling work, kids, or just trying to keep up with a busy routine, having a go-to recipe that's both nutritious and satisfying is key.
This week, I have a great recipe for you: the Nourish & Glow Spring Roll Bowl. Packed with vibrant fresh veggies, marinated crumbly tofu, and creamy peanut sauce, this bowl is sure to satisfy. It’s well balanced, amazingly flavorful and the perfect meal to keep you fueled and energized.
Why You'll Love This Bowl
Adaptable: This recipe is easily adaptable with whatever veggies you have on hand. If you're short on time or need a quick version, use store bought peanut sauce, and pre-baked tofu for a meal under 20 minutes. You can also use a pre-cut vegetable blend like broccoli slaw, or a cabbage carrot blend, to make it even faster to put together.
Packed with Fresh Flavor: The combination of marinated crumbly tofu, crisp veggies, and fresh herbs creates a vibrant, refreshing bowl that’s bursting with flavor.
High in Plant-Based Protein: Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein that helps keep you full, supports muscle repair, and provides energy throughout the day.
Supports Digestion: The fiber-rich vegetables and rice noodles contribute to healthy digestion, helping you maintain regularity and a balanced belly.
Rich in Vitamins: This bowl is loaded with fresh vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and greens, which are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, all of which are essential for maintaining overall health and supporting a strong immune system.

Yield: 4 Large, or 8 small servings
Ingredients:
For the Tofu:
1 block firm tofu, grated
2 tbsp low sodium gluten-free tamari or low sodium soy sauce (if not gluten-free)
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp or up to 2 tsp sriracha, gochujang or other chili sauce (1/2 tsp for mild, more for super spicy)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
For the Bowl:
4 oz pad Thai rice sticks
2 cups mixed greens (such as lettuce, spinach, or arugula)
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup radicchio or purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
1 red or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 large red radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup green onion or scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
For the Peanut Sauce:
1/3 cup natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
2 tbsp low sodium gluten-free tamari or low sodium soy sauce (if not gluten-free)
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp unsweetened rice vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Red chili flakes, to taste
1/4 cup water, or more as needed to thin the sauce
Optional Toppings:
Crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and sriracha or chili sauce
Instructions:
Marinate the tofu: Gently press the tofu in a tea towel to remove excess water, then grate the full block. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup sriracha (or spicy sauce of choice), rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed. Add the grated tofu to the bowl and gently toss to coat the tofu evenly with the sauce. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
Cook the noodles: While the tofu is marinating cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Cook the tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the heated through and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Chop your veggies: Gather all the veggies and chop them to your preference.
Make the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in red chili flakes to taste.
Assemble: Divide the cooked rice noodles among four bowls (about 1/2 cup cooked noodles each bowl). Top with mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, cilantro, mint, and basil. Add the cooked tofu to each bowl. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the top. Garnish with optional toppings.
Enjoy: Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
If making this for meal prep, assemble the bowls in four separate airtight containers, and keep the sauce separate until serving.
