Instructions

  • Pour the soy sauce, sugar and lime juice into a small bowl and add the chopped chilli, ginger and garlic. Give it a good stir and put to one side for later.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a pan and add the sliced tofu. Cook on high on both sides for 5 minutes until becoming golden and crisp.
  • While the tofu is cooking, place the peas and rice into a pan of boiling water. Bring the water to the boil and then cover and allow the rice to soak up the water.
  • Add the glaze to the pan with the tofu and spoon over the top to coat it well. Reduce the heat and simmer while the rice cooks coating the tofu with the glaze as it thickens.
  • Add the peas to the rice in the last few minutes of cooking to heat the peas through.
  • Finally, serve the glazed tofu on top of the rice and peas and sprinkle with the sliced spring onions and coriander leaves.
