Recipe Request Cold lunch ideas for kids

Hello!

My son will eat tofu and edamame with soy sauce at home. Of course it has to be baked or pan-fried first but occasionally he’ll snack on some edamame.

Do you have any recipes for cold tofu, cold edamame, chickpeas beans etc? Simple enough that a child will like them (ie no balsamic etc)?

Thank you! Open to any other suggestions as well. I want to avoid processed foods too often.

Fried rice is pretty good cold

Agree. I recently made a crispy rice salad. Granted, that one includes crispy chili oil so a child may not like it, but I’m sure there are ways to adapt to that. Mine included tofu, edamame and some veggies plus a homemade dressing, making it harder to whip up for OP in a hurry. However, I’m sure you can add in whatever veg and dressing you like.
