Crispy Rice with Spicy Tofu and Vegetables: Method
- First, dice the tofu and season it with olive oil and salt.
- Transfer the tofu to a baking tray and roast it in the oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Once ready, set it aside.
- For the fresh salad, roughly chop the cilantro and place it in a bowl. Add the julienned ginger and red bell pepper, then pour in the rice vinegar.
- Mix well and let the flavors marinate while you move on to the next steps.
- Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Once hot, add the cooked Jasmine rice, ideally prepared the day before.
- Press the rice down to form an even layer across the bottom of the pan and let it cook until a crispy golden crust forms, about 15–20 minutes.
- Once it’s nicely browned, flip the rice and break it up using a spoon or spatula.
- In a separate pan, gently warm the Mutti Pasta Sauce with Chili, then add the crispy tofu and stir to coat it evenly.
- Add the steamed broccoli and toss everything together until well combined.
- Now you're ready to plate. Start with a base of crispy rice, then top with the spicy tofu and broccoli, and finish with the cilantro salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to complete the dish.
