Here’s a throwback to a dish I made on our road trip and it’s an absolute winner!

Sticky Asian tofu and veg rice stir fry 🥢

This dish really is super easy to make, so healthy and sooo delicious. I packed it out with lots of fresh vegetables including pepper onion courgette and carrot. By cooking them al dente they have a gravest crunchy texture next to the tofu.

After pressing the tofu I dusted the pieces on a little corn flour, this allows them to crisp up nicely and thicken the sauce well when added. Be sure to make sure you press the tofu for at least an hour in kitchen paper or a towel to allow all the moisture to be absorbed!

I mixed together some soy, rice wine vinegar, chilli, sesame oil and peanut butter to make a delicious Asian infused dressing for the dish!

I decided to use brown rice as the base to this dish. The nutty texture goes so well with the crunchy veg, softer tofu and tangy sauce.
