These banh mi bowls with sticky tofu are a great and easy dish you can have ready to go in 15 minutes. These bowls are a take-off of the traditional Vietnamese banh mi sandwich, which are filled with a protein, sliced cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, and pickled veggies.
These banh mi bowls feature rice noodles instead of bread, and are loaded with extra veggie toppings for a healthier kick! They’re also completely vegan and gluten-free! You can feel free to get creative and use different veggie toppings you have available in your fridge.
