Cook the rice
4

a) Cook the rice according to pack instructions. b) Pop your frying pan back on medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil if necessary. c) Add the mange tout, season with salt and pepper and stir fry for 1-2 mins.

Start the sauce
5

a) Add half the spring onion to the mange tout. b) Cook for one minute, stirring continuously. c) Add the bulgogi sauce to the pan and bring to the boil. d) Allow it to bubble and thicken slightly, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Finish and serve
6

a) Divide the cooked rice between your bowls and stir through the lime zest and remaining spring onion. b) Stir the sesame seeds and the juice from half your lime wedges into the tofu mixture. c) Serve the rice in bowls with the tofu and veg on top. Pop the leftover lime wedges on the side for squeezing over. Enjoy!
