Ingredients
- 200 grams of leftover rice
- 200 grams of tofu, diced
- 200 grams of broccoli, chopped into florets
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of sriracha
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced tofu. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add broccoli florets and a splash of water. Sauté until the broccoli is vibrant and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the pan and add the leftover rice. Toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, and vinegar. Pour the sauce over the tofu, broccoli, and rice, mixing well to coat.
- Cook for another 3 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors have melded.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Tips
- Ensure the tofu is well-pressed to remove excess moisture. This helps it to brown beautifully.
- For a richer flavor, marinate tofu in a small amount of soy sauce and vinegar for 10 minutes before cooking.
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime for an extra layer of flavor.
