Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite
Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving
Boil half a kettle
Drain your tofu and pat it dry with kitchen paper
Crumble the tofu into small bite-sized pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Add the crumbled tofu to a bowl with half your soy sauce (you'll use the rest later!) and your cornflour and give everything a good mix up until all the tofu is coated – this is your coated tofu
Once hot, add the coated tofu to the pan, and cook for 8-9 min, turning occasionally until golden and crisp – this is your crispy tofu
While the tofu is cooking, drain your sweetcorn
Heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the drained sweetcorn to the pan with your ground cumin, ground smoked paprika, ground coriander, most of your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of salt
Cook for 30 secs or until the spices are fragrant
Once fragrant, add your tomato paste to the pan with the remaining soy sauce and 100ml [130ml] [170ml] boiled water
Stir it all together and cook for 2-3 min or until thickened
Add the cooked brown rice to the pan with the sweetcorn and a splash of water (if looking a little dry!)
Stir everything together and cook for 3-4 min or until the rice has warmed through – this is your spiced rice
Meanwhile, dice your tomato[es] finely
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Cut your lime[s] into 2 wedges per person
Serve the spiced rice in a bowl topped with the crispy tofu – this is your Mexican-style tofu & rice bowl
Top with the diced tomato, chopped coriander, the juice of half the lime wedges and a drizzle of olive oil
Season with a grind of pepper and garnish with the remaining chilli flakes (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and a lime wedge
Enjoy!
