Instructions

1. Prepare the tofu
   Press the tofu using a heavy object or tofu press, for 20 - 30 minutes, to get rid of the excess moisture.
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes and crispy tofu
   Preheat the oven to 200C (425F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   Wash, scrub (or peel) and slice the sweet potatoes into 1 cm (1/3 inch) thick rounds. In a mixing bowl, toss potatoes with oil and salt.
   Once the tofu has been drained, cut the block into bite-sized cubes. In a large bowl, toss the tofu with oil, salt and cornstarch, until well coated.
   On the same baking sheet, arrange the tofu and potatoes in an even layer and bake for 25 minutes, tossing halfway. Potatoes might need an additional 5 minutes to caramelise on the edges.
3. Prepare the kale
   While potatoes and tofu are baking, prepare the kale.
   Using your hands, pull the kale leaves from their stems and coarsely chop the leaves. Stem kale using your preferred option, this should take around 2 to 3 minutes. Mix together with the lemon juice, salt and garlic. Set aside.
4. Prepare the dressing
   In the meantime, prepare the dressing by whisking together the cashew butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and water.
5. Build your bowl
   To build your bowl, divide the kale, roasted potatoes, tofu, rice and avocado between serving bowls. Drizzle with dressing and chili flakes, enjoy!
6. How to store
   Store leftovers in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
