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 medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 2cm pieces. Place the cornflour into a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Add the tofu and toss to evenly coat.
Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Finely chop or grate the ginger. Thinly slice the spring onions. Halve the mushrooms. Trim and roughly chop the pak choi.
Heat a wok or large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Add the mushrooms, spring onions and pak choi and cook for 4-5 mins, until softening.
Make the sauce. In a bowl, mix the tamari, tamarind, maple syrup, ginger and chilli (to taste). Add the sauce to the tofu and cook for 2 mins, stirring to coat.
Serve the rice topped with sticky tofu, mushrooms and pak choi.
