Mango Coconut Tofu Bowls

The opposite day I were given a craving for that drooly-scrumptious pan-fried tofu that I made a couple months ago and i knew I had to make extra. but, rather than making the precise equal dish, I determined to come up with a brand new taste blend for my bowl. I decided to go together with a tropical theme via combinig my favourite savory coconut rice with mangoes, avocados, and a honey lime glaze for the tofu. The ensuing Mango Coconut Tofu Bowls are truly epic. EPIC.
