In a blender, combine tahini and water to make the tahini sauce, pureeing until smooth; add extra water if needed for desired texture.

Spread marinated tofu on a baking sheet and bake until it starts to brown, or air fry in the air fryer basket.

Add baby bok choy or your green veggie of choice to the pan and sauté until done.

Once tofu is done baking, assemble the bowls by piling cooked quinoa, tofu, and sautéed veggies.

Top with crunchy uncooked veggies, creamy tahini sauce, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper.

Add sliced avocado and extra tahini sauce for good measure.
