How to Prep

1Toss the cucumber with the rice vinegar and half the ginger; let it sit while you cook.
2Sear the tofu cubes in the sesame oil over medium-high heat until golden on two or three sides, about 8 minutes.
3Add the edamame, the rest of the ginger, and the tamari for the last minute and toss until the tofu is glossy.
4Pile it over warm rice with the pickled cucumber, scallions, and sesame seeds. White rice is the point here: it refills your muscles faster than brown after a hard session.
