When it's too hot or when I don't feel like cooking, I'll make this quick healthy bowl. Sometimes I just eat it as a salad without rice and sometimes I mix a spoonful of the spicy paste with the steam rice and eat it.

Ingredients

3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 ½ teaspoons Korean chile pepper powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon toasted Asian sesame oil
1 ½ cups steamed Japanese rice
½ head of romaine lettuce (heart only), torn into bite-size pieces
½ cucumber - peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 (12 ounce) package tofu, sliced

Directions

Mix green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, Korean red pepper powder, sugar, and sesame oil together in a bowl until evenly combined.
Place rice in a serving bowl. Toss lettuce and cucumber together and place onto rice. Arrange tofu over lettuce and cucumber. Drizzle sesame mixture over tofu to taste.

Cook's Note:

You cannot substitute Korean chili powder with any other chili pepper powders. It will be too spicy and it won't taste the same.

Silken or firm tofu can be used.
