Bento boxes are lunch containers with separate compartments used for
take-along and take-out lunches in Japan. Here we've assembled
traditional bento box components in a one-bowl salad.

Serves: 6

--> Spicy Tofu
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hot chili-garlic sauce
2 Tbsp dark sesame oil
14oz extra-firm tofu, cubed
5 green onions, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
2 Tbsp lemon juice

--> Salad
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce
2 cups cooked short-grain brown rice
4 1/2 cups mixed baby greens
2 carrots, peeled
1 cucumber, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

1. To make Spicy Tofu: Whisk together soy sauce, chili sauce and sesame
oil in bowl. Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip tofu in chili
mixture. Cook 10 minutes, or until browned, turning occasionally. Cool.
Add green onions, yogurt and lemon juice to remaining chili mixture.
Toss with tofu.

2. To make Salad: Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger and chili
sauce in bowl. Mound rice in bowls. Top with greens. Shave strips of
carrots over top with vegetable peeler. Top with tofu, cucumber and
