Ingredients

Tofu

  • 1 Tbsp cornflour
  • 300g tofu
  • 1/2 pack Korean sticky chilli sauce
  • 1 drizzle of oil

To Serve

  • 1/2 pack Peanut Dust
  • 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked

Slaw

  • 100g mung bean sprouts
  • 150g slaw
  • 1 baby bok choy, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Rice

  • 1 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 tsp makrut lime powder
  • 150g short grain rice

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 100ml light coconut milk
  • 30g peanut butter

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C (or 210°C fan bake). Bring a half-full kettle to the boil.
  2. Pat tofu dry and tear into chunks roughly 2cm. Add to a medium bowl, season with salt and gently toss together with cornflour and oil, until well coated. Transfer to a lined oven tray, spread into a single layer and bake on upper oven rack for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
  3. Combine rice, makrut lime powder, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  4. Thinly slice bok choy, juice lemon and toss together in a large bowl with remaining salad ingredients and a pinch of salt. Pick coriander leaves and set aside to serve.
  5. Whisk all peanut sauce ingredients together in a small pot, until combined. Bring to a simmer on medium-high heat. Once simmering, remove from heat. Cover and keep warm.
  6. Once tofu has finished baking, remove tray from oven, drizzle over Korean sticky chilli sauce and toss to coat tofu.
  7. Rice, slaw and tofu topped with peanut sauce, coriander and peanut dust.
