Notes

SUBS
You can use any other source of protein in this bowl, however the tofu offers a nice meat-free meal option. 
You can also go half and half – half tofu and half protein of choice for some variety. eg tofu + chicken; tofu + salmon etc.  Just halve quantities.  
If you don’t have Chinese 5 spice, just toss tofu in sea salt and white pepper, before baking.
