Spiced Tofu Sesame Rice Bowl

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and 1/4 tsp salt into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice 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).

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.

Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the the broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs, then add a splash of water. Cover with a lid (or foil), then allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more. 

Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Pop the (now empty) frying pan back on 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.

Once golden, sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix, stir-fry for 30 secs, then pour in the bulgogi sauce, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and half the soy sauce. Stir to combine.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 min. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick, then remove from the heat.
