This Golden Tofu Crunch Bowl is one of my go-to bowls to make for lunch or dinner. This yellow bowl of goodies is my favorite to bring to work and grub at lunch.
THE BREAKDOWN
For the Golden Tofu, I used extra firm tofu and chopped it into ½″-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!
Jena Leigh

Crisping tofu is the only way I can eat it. And adding curry will trick me into thinking I’m eating something else.
Jena Leigh
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!
Mary

This looks good! I tried tofu once and I didn’t care for it but this would be another great way to revisit tofu:)
Jena Leigh
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.

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,
