• In a medium saucepan, add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside, covered, until 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!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add cucumber to pickling liquid with just enough water to cover cucumber. Set aside.
TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!
• Thinly slice celery. • Roughly chop Asian greens.
• Cut firm tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm cubes. • In a second medium bowl, combine tofu, sweet-soy seasoning and the plain flour. Toss to coat.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook celery until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add Asian greens and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Cook tofu, tossing, until golden, 3-5 minutes.
• Drain pickled cucumber. • Divide rice between bowls. • Top with veggies, pickled cucumber and sweet-soy tofu. • Drizzle over Japanese dressing to serve. Enjoy!
