RICE RICE BABY
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml 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.
NUTS ABOUT BEANS
Boil the kettle. Place the chopped cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Place the edamame beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until plumped up. Drain and set aside.
CRISPY TOFU
Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl with ½ a tsp of water, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Prepare another dish with the remaining cornflour and seasoning. Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. Dip the tofu chunks into the wet flour mixture and then into the dry cornflour, dusting off any excess cornflour before transferring to a clean plate. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the tofu for 3-4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towel.
SWEET & SOUR
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated garlic and stonefruit wedges. Stir through the sweet ’n sour sauce and 20ml of a sweetener. Allow to come to the boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Stir through the tofu pieces until fully coated. Season to taste, cover, and set aside for serving.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff up with a fork and stir through the tamari until it's evenly distributed.
