Cooking Steps
• 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 jasmine rice, the water 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 and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.
TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!
• While cucumber is pickling, drain sweetcorn. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, ginger paste and the soy sauce. • Pat firm tofu (see ingredients) dry, then cut into 1cm pieces. • In a second medium bowl, combine cornflour, tofu and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When the oil is hot, shake the excess cornflour off tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, 5-7 minutes. • Add sweet chilli-ginger sauce mixture, tossing to coat, 1 minute.
TIP: For best results, cook the tofu in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• While tofu is cooking, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of pickling liquid and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Add sweetcorn and slaw mix, tossing to combine.
• Drain cucumber. • Divide garlic rice, sweet chilli and ginger tofu, slaw and pickled cucumber between bowls. • Spoon over any sauce from the pan. Top with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
