01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss tofu or chicken cubes with cornstarch and olive oil. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tofu is golden and crispy or chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

05 - Spiralize zucchini and carrots. Set aside.
06 - In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
07 - Divide quinoa among bowls. Top with spiralized vegetables, baked tofu or chicken, mango, and spring onions. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
08 - Serve immediately.
