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.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl & a grater

Fry the tofu & prep

  • Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 2cm cubes
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Transfer the tofu into the medium bowl
  • Meanwhile, trim and finely slice the cabbage. Coarsely grate the carrot (peel optional). Thinly slice the spring onions. Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the lime

Marinate the tofu

  • Add the miso, half the gochujang paste (add less for less heat) and the juice from half the lime to the tofu. Toss to coat then cover to keep warm

Make the veggie fried rice

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on high heat. Once hot, add the cabbage and carrot, cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the mangetout, spring onion, ginger & garlic paste and half the coriander (make it kid friendly: save the coriander for garnish). Cook for a further 2-3 mins, until softened
  • Stir in the rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season to taste

Plate up

  • Serve the veggie fried rice into bowls, topped with the miso gochujang tofu (and any remaining marinade in the bowl). Drizzle over the remaining gochujang paste (for those who'd like the heat)
  • Garnish with the edamame, sesame seeds, remaining coriander and remaining lime, cut into wedges
