Description

Tofu in sweet chilli sauce is the perfect mid-week family dinner. Serve with rice and steamed or stir-fried veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 60g white and wild rice
  • 40g peas
  • 100g broccolini
  • 50g mangetout
  • 50g pak choi
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 140g firm tofu, cubed

Instructions

Cook rice according to the instructions on the package, adding peas once it is almost cooked. Once cooked, keep rice warm and set aside.

In the meantime, heat half a teaspoon of olive in a frying pan then add spring onions and vegetables. Fry for 2 minutes then stir in garlic and one tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce. Fry for 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender then tip the vegetables into a bowl and keep warm.
