Instructions

Cook rice in a rice cooker or pot according to package instructions, adding a generous pinch of salt to the cooking water.
Preheat oven to 425F. Pat chickpeas dry, toss with 1 tbsp oil, spices, and salt. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway, until crispy.
Grate tofu over a baking tray using a box grater. Toss with cornstarch, soy sauce, hoisin, and 1/2 tbsp avocado oil. Spread on a tray and bake for 12 minutes, toss, then bake 5 more minutes until golden.
Mix the hot cooked rice with the baked tofu shreds in the pot. Adjust salt to taste.
In a large bowl, combine mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, whisk lime zest, lime juice, sweet chili sauce, and maple syrup (if using). Pour dressing over salad and fold gently to combine.
To serve, spoon tofu rice into bowls. Top with mango avocado salad and crispy chickpeas. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Pat chickpeas VERY dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
The maple syrup in the dressing is optional; taste your mango first as ripe mango is often sweet enough.
For meal prep, store components separately. Add avocado and dressing just before serving.
For a gluten-free version, use tamari and certified gluten-free hoisin sauce.
