Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add beets. Boil for 18 minutes, or until beets are fork tender. (Beets should be cooked through but not mushy.) Run beets under cold water. 3. Add beets to one bowl, red cabbage to a second bowl, and white cabbage to a third bowl. Add ¹⁄³ of tamari-vinegar mixture to each bowl and stir until combined. Set bowls in fridge to marinate for 20 minutes.

4. In each of 4 serving bowls, arrange ½ cup of the cooked rice and ¼ amount each of marinated beets, red cabbage, and white cabbage. Arrange ¼ amount each of radish, cucumber, and avocado slices atop each bowl. Serve immediately. Kitchen Note: Be sure to marinate the beets, red cabbage, and white cabbage in their own bowls. Otherwise, you won’t be able to artfully separate each item in the serving bowls. If you wish to garnish this dish, consider sprinkling sesame seeds over for crunch. You can also combine ½ cup of vegan mayonnaise with 1½ tablespoons of sriracha sauce. Drizzle desired amount over each bowl.
