Yeay to vegan bowls! Especially when they’re filled with curried couscous, broccoli, crispy tofu and BBQ sauce. This is such an easy lunch, but rich in protein and very delicious. Broccoli is one of my fav veggies everrrr, so I couldn’t miss that one in the recipe.

It’s also a great lunch to take to work/school/university and you can mix and match the veggies. If you’re looking for more dishes, that you can take to work/school/university, you might want to have a look at the Mediterranean Couscous, German Noodle Salad, Simple Onion Couscous, Deconstructed Sushi Bowl, Healthy & Vegan Carrot Rice & Enoki California Roll.

You can use either store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce (just make sure it’s vegan).

    I love the sweet-savoriness of BBQ anything, and simple bowls = the best meals! Also broccoli is possibly my favorite veggie too, it somehow sneaks into 80% of my dinners hehe. So basically this whole bowl looks perfect and I want to steal it and devour it right about now :D

      Oh thank you so much, Natalie. I think 2017 will be my year of the bowl. Gotta go back to simpler, healthier recipes. :)

    Bianca, I just made this for dinner. I am bursting at the seams because I ate soooo much. I couldn’t stop myself – it was so dang good! I think I might always make my tofu with curry powder from here until eternity. Seriously, one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.

    What’s the deal with the lime? Where does it enter the picture?

      Ah good catch! I’ve updated the recipe. The lime juice goes into the couscous water (step 1).
