  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  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 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.

  4. 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.
