Try this Vegan rice bowl dish on meat-free Monday. It’s a very simple dish to cook but it is really yummy and filling. Instead of adding Potato Starch to the sauce at the end of cooking process, coat Tofu pieces with Potato Starch first, so that the Potato Starch layer will become jelly like and Tofu pieces get nicely coated with the delicious sauce. Add some vegetables to it. Today I added ‘Carrot Namul’ and ‘Lettuce & Wakame Salad’.
