Cooking steps

Cook the rice
1
  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch.
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 12 mins.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Get Prepped
2
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the carrot, and halve lengthways. Chop into 1cm semi-circles (no need to peel).
  • Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways.
  • Deseed the chilli and thinly slice widthways.
  • Chop the tofu into 2cm cubes.
Fry the Tofu
3
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the tofu and carrots to the pan and season with salt and pepper.  
  • Fry for 4-5 mins then add the pak choi and cook for 1-2 mins.
  • Add the lemongrass paste and cook for 1 min. Add coconut milk and Vietnamese sauce. 
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins. Season with pepper.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Divide the rice between bowls.
  • Top with the tofu, spooning over any remaining sauce from the pan.
  • Scatter the sliced chilli over the top (use less if you'd like things milder).
