Ingredients

Base

  • 75g/2.7 oz (uncooked) brown rice (supermarket own-brand), cooked according to the instructions on the packet (use an instant rice if short of time)

Vegetables

  • ½ carrot, grated or spiralized
  • 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cm chunk of cucumber, cubed
  • 5 pineapple chunks, drained and rinsed (if using tinned)
  • 3 radishes, sliced
  • ¼ red onion

Protein

Choose 1 of the following:

  • 75g/2.7 oz smoked or extra firm tofu (supermarket own-brand), cut into 2cm cubes (serve cold or you can lightly fry until golden with a splash of soy sauce or salt) or firm silken tofu, cubed
  • 100g/3.5 oz chickpeas or black beans, drained and rinsed

Topping

  • Choose a sprinkling of 1-2 budget toppings:
  • Chilli flakes
  • Crispy onions (find them in bulk in the global section in supermarkets. Use gluten-free varieties if needed)
  • Fresh herbs
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Sesame seeds
  • Black sesame seeds
  • Poppy seeds
  • Nigella seeds
  • Spring onions, sliced
  • Homemade kimchi or sauerkraut
  • Toasted peanuts

Sauce

  • Sriracha mayo (2 tbsp supermarket own-brand vegan mayo with 2 tsp sriracha with 2 tsp bottled lime juice)

Instructions

Assembly

  1. Ideally use a wide bowl (but any will do) and then place your rice on the bottom.
  2. Arrange the vegetables into separate sections over the top, in a way that looks pretty (if you like!).
  3. Place the protein option(s) into its own separate little section next to the vegetables.
  4. Sprinkle over your topping(s) and then finally drizzle over your sauce.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
