Instructions

  1. 1Wash the rice and cook it according to the package instructions. For the last 5 minutes of cooking, place a colander with broccoli over the rice so it steams slightly.
  2. 2Wrap the tofu in paper towels and press it firmly to remove as much water as possible. Cut it into 2 cm cubes.
  3. 3Place the tofu cubes in a bowl, add the cornstarch and salt, and mix so that all cubes are evenly coated.
  4. 4Heat the sesame oil in a pan. Fry the tofu over medium-high heat for about 8–10 minutes, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5While frying, mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Once the tofu is fried, reduce the heat and pour the sauce into the pan. Stir for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
  6. 6Assemble the meal in a bowl: cover the bottom with rice, add the broccoli, fresh peppers, and crispy tofu. Garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
