Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2

Drain your tofu and tear it into bite-sized pieces

Step 2
3

Combine the torn tofu and half your miso (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl with your umami seasoning and cornflour

Give everything a good mix up until all the tofu is coated – this is your coated tofu

Step 3
4

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the coated tofu to the pan, reserve the bowl and cook for 10-12 min or until golden – this is your umami tofu

Step 4
5

While the tofu is cooking, combine your carrot & cabbage slaw mix with your mayo and half your rice vinegar (you'll use the rest later!)

Add a small pinch of pepper and give everything a good mix up – this is your creamy slaw

Step 5
6

Bash your cucumber with a rolling pin and chop it into bite-sized pieces – this is your smashed cucumber

Tip: Bash the cucumber in its bag to avoid mess. By bruising the cucumber, the water is drawn out more easily!

Step 6
7

Wipe the reserved bowl clean

Combine your peanut butter with the remaining miso and remaining rice vinegar in a bowl until smooth

Add the smashed cucumber and give everything a good mix up – this is your peanutty smashed cucumber

Step 7
8

Serve the cooked rice in a bowl and layer over the peanutty smashed cucumber, creamy slaw and umami tofu

Drizzle your red chilli relish over the tofu – this is your sticky sweet chilli tofu bowl and peanutty smashed cucumber

Enjoy!
