Ingredients
- 8 oz extra firm tofu
- 1 pouch hearts of palm rice
- 1 bunch lacinato kale
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1 mango
- 1/2 English cucumber
- 1 carrot

- 2 limes
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce

Preparation
Slice tofu into cubes. Heat a small amount of oil in a large cast iron skillet over low heat. Once skillet is hot, arrange tofu in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes until it wiggles freely and is golden on the bottom. Do not try to flip if it is still sticking to the pan. Flip and repeat on second side.
Cook hearts of palm rice according to package instructions. Drain and return to pan to keep warm and remove excess moisture.
Add kale to a bowl and add lemon juice and oil. Massage for 15-30 seconds until tender.
Whisk together all sauce ingredients to combine. Season to taste.
Add ingredients to serving bowls and drizzle with sauce right before serving.
