Ingredients

Rice

300g short grain rice
2 1/4 cup boiling water

Tofu

600g tofu, diced 2cm
2 Tbsp cornflour
1 drizzle of oil
150g teriyaki sauce

Toppings

1 pack edamame beans
1 telegraph cucumber, cut in half lengthways & thinly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced

Sesame Mayo (optional)

2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sesame oil

Steps

Boil a kettle. Boil a pot of water for edamame. Combine rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 mins. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more mins. Do not lift lid during cooking.
Pat tofu dry and dice 2cm. Place in a bowl and gently toss with cornflour, until well coated. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a frypan on high heat and cook tofu for 8-10 mins, turning often, until golden. Add teriyaki sauce and cook for about 2 mins, until sauce has reduced slightly and become sticky.
Place edamame in pot of boiling water. Return to the boil and cook for 5 mins. Drain and season with salt.
Cut cucumber in half lengthways and thinly slice. Thinly slice avocado. In a bowl, mix mayo and sesame oil.
Top rice with edamame, tofu, cucumber, avocado and a dollop of sesame mayo (if using). Dig in!
