Once the rice time is up, let the instant pot natural release for 15 minutes then turn the vent knob to venting position before removing the rice from the instant pot.

    Preheat oven to 420°F.

  • Step 3

    On a parchment lined baking sheet add red and orange bell peppers, summer squash, mushrooms and tofu to the baking sheet in rows not mixing everything together. Drizzle remaining olive oil and sesame oil over the top and sprinkle remaining salt and ground pepper. Gently massage the oils, salt & pepper into the vegetables and tofu. Bake for 15 minutes or until vegetables are roasted and tofu has developed a slightly browned, crisped exterior. Remove from the oven and add to a platter to serve.

  • Step 4

    Once rice is done cooking, add to a bowl. Set out carrots, cucumber ribbons, radishes, green onions, power greens, and ginger dressing. Let everyone create their own bowls and enjoy.
