I literally can't get enough of these Buddha Bowls
I'm not even ashamed to say I have had one for lunch every day last week. The obsession is real.
Steamy brown rice, fresh avocado + cherry tomatoes, firm cubed tofu, drizzled with a creamy yet spicy dressing ready to make your tastebuds run wild.
The best part about this... are you ready for this?... Ready in 25 minutes. Yep, I said it. You read it right.
A Quick & Healthy Vegan Buddha Bowl is Perfect for Lunch or Dinner
There is something about hot rice that just warms my heart. If you haven't noticed yet, I eat it every day basically. It is one of the guilt-free carbs that makes me sneak that one extra bite from the bowl before packing it away in the fridge for the night. My favorite fail-proof brown rice is this one here.
And if you want to take your laziness to a new level, you have to get my rice cooker. It works magic. I don't even know how I survived without one.
The best part of this bowl is by far this dressing, and it is not because of my addiction to Sriracha sauce. Okay who I am trying to kid, totally could be. BUT you will love it either way.
The base of this dressing is tahini, or sesame butter, which is made from sesame seeds (shocker I know). Tahini gives this dressing that creamy texture. Then you mix in a few extra ingredients, including my one true love.

How to Make a Spicy Sriracha Tahini Dressing
You can substitute these ingredients for whatever you have handy in your kitchen as well. Let your creative juices flow. Sometimes I use more dark green veggies instead of the cherry tomatoes. Steamed broccoli is also a great option to throw in.
Just make sure you can actually fit it all in the bowl, or it will overflow...not that that happened to me or anything...
