Cooking Instructions
- Roughly dice the onion. Dice the carrots into 1cm cubes (peel optional). Finely dice half the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat) and finely slice the remaining. Drain the sweetcorn.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu into the pan. Cook for 8-10 mins, breaking it up into smaller pieces, until golden. In the final minute of cooking, add half the tamari. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat another large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening. Add the mangetout, black bean paste, ginger & garlic paste and diced chilli (to taste). Cook for 1 min, then add the sweetcorn, rice, sesame oil and remaining tamari. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot.
- Thinly slice the spring onions. Add the scrambled tofu and half the spring onions to the rice pan. Toss to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve the rice in bowls and garnish with the sliced chilli (to taste) and remaining spring onions.
