Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat. Keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, trim the baby broccoli and cut into thirds, slicing any thicker stalks in half. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Cut the Japanese tofu into 1cm cubes. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste (see ingredients), rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, the water (for the glaze) and mixed sesame seeds. In a second small bowl, combine the Japanese dressing and mayonnaise.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the baby broccoli and carrot with a dash of water, tossing occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the tofu, tossing, until golden, 2 minutes. Add the miso glaze mixture and cook, stirring, until the tofu is well coated and the glaze is slightly thickened, 1 minute.
TIP: Cook the tofu in batches for best results!
Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). When the rice is ready, stir through the sesame oil (if using).
Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the miso-glazed tofu, cucumber, baby broccoli and carrot and a dollop of Japanese mayo. Sprinkle with the chilli to serve.
