Ingredients  

Wild Rice

  • 2 cups U.S.-grown wild rice
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 tsp salt divided

Roasted Veggies & Tofu

  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper sliced
  • 2 summer squash sliced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 block extra firm tofu cubed
  • ½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground pepper

Fresh Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 4 radishes sliced
  • 2 mini cucumbers thinly sliced into ribbons
  • 2 green onions sliced

Method 

Wild Rice

  • In an Instant Pot, add wild rice, water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Set to manual mode and cook for 30 minutes. Once done, allow natural release for 15 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.

Roast Vegetables & Tofu

  • Preheat oven to 420°F. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bell peppers, squash, mushrooms, and tofu in separate rows. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sesame oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then gently toss. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tofu is golden and crisped.

Set Up the Buddha Bowl Bar

  • Transfer the cooked rice into a serving bowl. Arrange roasted veggies, tofu, and fresh toppings on a large platter. Set out power greens and ginger dressing. Let everyone create their own bowls and enjoy!

Notes

No Instant Pot? You can also cook wild rice on the stovetop. Simply simmer for 45 minutes until tender.
