Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and 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 and halve green beans. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop Asian greens. • Thinly slice long chilli (if using). Cut Japanese tofu into 2cm cubes. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine ponzu sauce, the vinegar, the brown sugar, the water(for the glaze) and mixed sesame seeds. • In a second small bowl, combine Japanese dressing and mayonnaise.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook green beans and carrot with a dash of water, tossing occasionally, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook tofu, tossing, until golden, 2 minutes. • Add ponzu glaze and cook, stirring, until tofu is well coated and glaze is slightly thickened, 1 minute.
• When the rice is ready, stir through the sesame oil (if using).
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with ponzu-glazed tofu and veggies. • Dollop with Japanese mayo. Sprinkle with chilli to serve. Enjoy!
