Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add jasmine rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, roughly chop Asian greens. • Thinly slice button mushrooms and spring onion (including the white ends).
• Cut plain tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm chunks.
• When rice has 20 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat.
• Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and white ends of spring onion and cook until just browned and softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add tofu and gently toss until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
• Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in tom yum paste, soy sauce, the sesame oil and a splash of water. • Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice, Thai mapo-style beef and tofu between bowls. • Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and remaining spring onion. Enjoy!
