  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large handful of crispy baked tofu (≈ 150 g) or other protein of choice
  • 1/3 cup edamame, shelled and thawed
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, cut into 1 cm cubes
  • 1 tbsp vegan cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp chili-crisp oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • OPTIONAL: 1–2 tsp crushed nori flakes

Instructions

  1. Load the jar: Place thinly sliced cucumber at the bottom, then layer onion, crispy tofu, edamame, carrot, spring onion, and avocado cubes.
  2. Seal & store: Screw the lid on tightly and refrigerate upright if not eating immediately.
  3. Shake to dress: Flip the jar upside-down twice, then shake vigorously for about 10 seconds to mix the creamy-sriracha dressing.
  4. Serve: Eat straight from the jar or tip into a bowl. Can be served over rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps.

Notes

  • Layer saucy ingredients near the top to keep veggies crisp longer.
  • Use baked tofu for crispy texture; substitute with cooked chicken or shrimp if preferred.
  • Optional crushed nori flakes add a subtle sushi-like flavor.
  • Can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
  • Adjust Sriracha and chili oil to taste for preferred spice level.
