Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 30-35 mins, until cooked. Drain then rinse under cold water.
Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Dice the mango into 1cm cubes. Peel the carrot into ribbons. Slice the ribbons into long, thin strips (or use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one). Roughly chop the coriander. Quarter the tomatoes. Transfer all into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Make the dressing; finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Zest and quarter the lime. Finely chop or grate the garlic and half the ginger. Add the ginger, garlic, zest, juice from half the lime and half the chilli (or to taste) to the mixing bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt and set aside.
Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 3cm cubes, toss with 1/2 tsp oil and season with sea salt. Thread onto skewers. Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan on high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown. Spoon over the hoisin and cook for 1-2 mins, until thickened. Remove and set aside.
Add the cooked rice to the mixing bowl and toss to coat.
Place the tofu skewers on top of the salad and garnish with remaining lime wedges and chilli (if desired).
