Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Drain the tofu and chop into 2cm cubes. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then pop into a large bowl and set aside.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Slice the sugar snap peas in half lengthways.

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

Cook the Rice
2

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).

Pickle the Carrot
3

Meanwhile, pop the carrot ribbons into a small bowl with the rice vinegar and sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount).

Add a pinch of salt, mix together and set aside to pickle.

Stir Fry Time
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn.

When there's 3 mins remaining, add the sugar snaps and fry, 2-3 mins.

 

Sauce Things Up
5

When the tofu is crispy and the veg is tender, sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix and stir-fry for 30 secs. Pour in the bulgogi sauce, sambal paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and half the soy sauce. Stir to combine.

Bring to the boil, then simmer, 1 min. Add a splash of water if it's thickened. Remove from the heat.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the remaining soy sauce. Share the rice between your bowls.

Top your rice with the spiced tofu, sugar snaps and pickled carrot in separate sections.

Enjoy!
