Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Reserve the Peking marinade (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people), then cut the Peking marinated tofu into 2cm cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the Peking tofu, sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the reserved Peking marinade, the soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a second small bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the tofu, tossing, until browned, 4 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the veggies.
Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a small drizzle of olive oil. Cook the ginger & lemongrass paste and remaining garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the coconut sauce mixture and simmer. Scrape any tofu bits from the base of the pan and stir until thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes.
Thinly slice the long green chilli (if using). Stir the toasted sesame seeds through the garlic rice and season to taste. Divide the sesame-garlic rice between bowls and top with the Peking tofu and veggies. Spoon over the coconut sauce and garnish with the chilli to serve.
