MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE

To make this gluten-free swap the soy sauce with tamari sauce.

MEAL PREP

You can prep everything in advance, but perhaps just keep the avocado for last minute to avoid it turning brown.

Pre-cook the rice and let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

Pre-cook the edamame beans if needed.

Marinade the tofu, fry it and let it cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge. Remember to keep the remaining marinade. Store that in the fridge too.

You can pre-slice or cut the raw vegetables.
