What’s yellow in color and crunchy in a bowl with Jasmine Rice? A Golden Tofu Crunch Bowl!
This Golden Tofu Crunch Bowl is one of my go-to bowls to make for lunch or dinner. This yellow bowl of goodies has baked seasoned tofu, crunchy onion strips, and a crispy veggie egg roll over a bowl of jasmine rice sprinkled with red pepper flakes and dried parsley.
The Breakdown – Golden Tofu Crunch Bowl:
For the Golden Tofu, I used extra firm tofu and chopped it into 1/2″-1″ cubes. Then preseasoned the tofu cubes in a small plastic container. I keep the rest in the fridge each time I crave tofu. Now, what really helps and saves me time is having a Tofu Press! I used to grab lots of napkins from fast food places and stick them in my purse just so I can squeeze the liquids out. I may have mentioned to do this ghetto napkin process in my other Tofu Bowl posts.
If you didn’t know, I’m telling you now how I get the yellow color affect. It’s basically Turmeric Powder! You know that Turmeric has many benefits, especially for you tootz that have a bloodline of heart diseases. Yes, that means my family too. So, I always incorporate healthy and flavorful ingredients even if I have to serve it hidden.
The Onion Crunchy are sprinkled with cornstarch, onion powder, garlic power, and turmeric again!
Last by not the least – The Crispy Veggie Eggroll. Okay, I cheated and bought a premade veggie eggroll at the local Asian market. Now if you’re vegan or a wannabe, some eggroll wrappers are made from eggs so pay attention to the ingredients on the label. Then, I used the left over seasoned oil and mixed it in with oil to fry the eggroll. I didn’t use much oil to deep fry, just enough to fry both sides as I used one eggroll. I think it would be a waste to deep fry just one eggroll. You know what I mean?? Some of you may recommend using an air fryer. Let me know how that worked for you in the comments below.

I love your tofu crunch bowl! All those yummy flavours! An air fryer is a great way to make a healthier egg roll, but frying the old fashioned way is delicious!
thank you! that’s good to know. Thanks for the tip about the air fryer. 🙂
This looks so delicious! YUM! I love how the texture of tofu can change so much from recipe to recipe!

I agree with you! I always try to come up with different recipes for tofu cause its so versatile!
Crisping tofu is the only way I can eat it. And adding curry will trick me into thinking I’m eating something else.
Yeah making it crispy its one of the best ways for people who arent used to eating tofu itself. Curry would be delicious if made the way you like it!
This is loaded with so much healthiness! I haven’t has tofu in forever, but looks like I need to make some ASAP 🙂
Yes indeed! Oh you gotta have some crunchy tofu soon😉
Mmm crispy tofu always hits the spot. I definitely need to replicate this dish!
oh yes crispy anything! i hope you do! thanks =)
Yum! This sounds so so delicious!
Thank you! Its super delish =)
Thanks for this! I am going to try it out this weekend!
Sweet! Let me know how yours tastes =)
This looks so delicious. All the spices sound like they play really great with each other.

Great idea! Love the added yumminess of a spring roll!
Thanks tootz! One of the best parts of this bowl!
This looks good! I tried tofu once and I didn’t care for it but this would be another great way to revisit tofu:)
Try fried tofu or baked tofu for the crunch so you would think its chicken nuggets. Eating plain tofu has a weird texture for you to start out.
this looks amazing (as always)! definitely hungry now that i’ve read this haha
Haha Paige! Thanks for stopping by. I would feed you some if you were closer =)
Wow! This looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing!

I love this recipe! You are so right about turmeric having so many health benefits and I personally use it in pretty much every dish I make. Tofu press is also a huge time saver, and I will try it next time I try to make this!
Thanks,
