RICE
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions until soft and lightly golden, 3-4 minutes. Add the grated Ginger and the curry powder, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the rinsed rice, the coconut milk, and 50ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
TOAST
Place the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
TOFU
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tofu until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.
GREEN BEANS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting constantly). In the final minute, add the grated Garlic. Mix in the spicy sauce, 30ml of water, the peas, and the golden tofu. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the fragrant rice. Top with the loaded tofu & all the sauce. Sprinkle over the toasted coconut flakes. Sensational, Chef!
