  1. RICE RICE BABY

    Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed rice in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, cover, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes until cooked and tender. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot and cover.

  2. NUTS ABOUT BEANS

    Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Place the edamame beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until plumped up. Drain on completion and set aside.

  3. CRISPY TOFU

    Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl, pour in ½ tsp of water, and add a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate bowl and season well. Add the tofu to the bowl of cornflour paste, and toss until fully coated. One by one, remove each piece and coat in the dry cornflour, dusting off any excess before transferring to a plate. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the tofu for 3-4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Remove on completion and drain on paper towel.

  4. A LIL SWEET & A LIL SOUR

    Return the pan to the heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion slices for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Mix in the pineapple pieces and fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Stir through the sweet ’n sour sauce and 20ml of a sweetener of choice. Allow to come to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir through the tofu pieces until fully coated. Season to taste, cover, and set aside for serving.

  5. ALMOST THERE

    Once the rice is cooked and drained, fluff up with a fork and stir through the tamari until fully coated.
