Background
This Asian-style tofu and rice stir fry is a quick and easy recipe, particularly if you have any leftover cooked rice. If not, then the tofu can be marinated and stir-fried with the other ingredients whilst the rice is cooking. This a lovely vegan dish or can be part of an Asian menu.
Ingredients
- 150g tofu
- 200g basmati or jasmine rice
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Β½ red onion, finely sliced
- Β½ red pepper, chopped
- large handful spinach leaves
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- juice of Β½ lime
- For the marinade:
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- zest and juice of Β½ lime
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp honey
- Chilli flakes (to taste)
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and squeeze out the liquid by sandwiching it between two plates and putting weight on the top plate. When the tofu is firm, dice it into 2cm cubes. Put these aside.
- Marinate 2/3 of the tofu: combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add about 100g of the tofu cubes, coat them well. Marinate for as long as you can.
- Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packaging.
- Heat a wok over a medium heat, add the marinated tofu and stir-fry for 5-10 minutes until golden all over. Transfer them onto a plate.
- Heat the oil in the wok, stir-fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the remaining tofu and pepper pieces. Stir-fry until the tofu is light brown.
- Add the spinach, rice, lime juice and soy sauce. Heat through for a few minutes, stirring the mixture gently (the tofu might fall apart).
- Serve the rice with the marinated tofu scattered on top.
