Char siu refers to a Cantonese inspired barbecue dish typically made with pork, though the versatile flavours of white miso, plum, orange, Five Spice and soy sauce used for the marinade pair well with almost any meat or vegetarian protein. In this dish, we're using tofu to absorb the delicious flavours.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Boil the Rice
1

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

Trim the pak choi, then separate the leaves. Cut any larger leaves in half lengthways down the middle.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Get Frying
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min.

Add the pak choi and a splash of water, then immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans and pak choi are tender, 4-5 mins.

Finish the Prep
4

While the veg cooks, drain the tofu and thoroughly pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut into 2cm chunks.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cornflour and salt (see pantry for amount). Season with pepper. Add the tofu and toss to coat in the flour.

When the veg is cooked, transfer to a bowl and cover with a lid or some foil to keep warm. Give the frying pan a quick wipe.

Make the Sauce
5

Return the (now empty) frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn.

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the Thai spice. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Stir in the char siu sauce and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins.

Add the stir-fried greens to the tofu and sauce and stir to coat.

Serve
6

Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

Share the rice between your bowls.

Top with the stir-fried greens and char siu tofu and spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan.

Enjoy!
