Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook 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 ¼ 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).

In a Pickle
2

Meanwhile, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

In a medium bowl, add the carrot ribbons, rice vinegar and sugar (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside to pickle.

Meanwhile, drain the tofu and thoroughly pat dry with kitchen paper. Tear into 3cm chunks.

Finish the Prep
3

In a medium bowl, add the tofu chunks, cornflour and salt (see pantry for amount). Toss to coat, then set aside.

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

Time to Fry
4

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

Once hot, add the young pea pods and stir-fry until just soft, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 secs more. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Tofu Time
5

Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil

Once hot, fry the tofu chunks until golden, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure they don't burn. 

Stir in the teriyaki sauce, miso paste, sambal paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Stir to combine and toss to coat the tofu. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.

Serve Up
6

Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the carrot pickling liquid. Share between your bowls.

Top with the tofu nuggets, pea pods and pickled carrot in separate sections over the rice.
