Description
This vegetable smoked tofu rice is a delightful mix of flavors and textures, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine rice (or white rice, dry)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup carrots and peas mix
- ½ cup broccoli florets (chopped small)
- ½ red onion (diced)
- 375 grams smoked tofu (one large block, cut into cubes)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- to taste green onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Add the rice to a medium pot along with the water and all of the sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- Layer the frozen carrot and pea mix, red onion, broccoli, and cubed smoked tofu directly on top of the rice mixture. Do not stir at this point. Keeping everything layered helps the rice cook properly underneath.
- Bring the pot to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook as you normally would rice, about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then uncover and gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
- Taste and adjust with additional hoisin or rice vinegar as needed. Serve with chopped green onion, as desired.
Notes
- This dish is great for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite vegetables.
- Adjust the sauce quantities to suit your taste preference.
