Method

• Mix together tofu marinade ingredients and tofu, and allow to marinade for 15 minutes.

• If rice is uncooked, cook according to instructions on packet, and set aside to cool. Fried rice works best using cold, leftover rice.

• Heat 1 Tbs of oil over medium heat in a large pan. Stir-fry the tofu until brown on all sides, around 7 minutes. Set aside.

• Wipe pan clean and heat the remaining 1 Tbs oil in the pan. Cook ginger and chilli flakes until fragrant. Add carrot and spring onion and cook for another 2 minutes.

• Add peas and corn and cook until they are heated through.

• Add the rice, breaking up gently with the spatula.

• Drizzle in the soy sauce, white pepper, and sesame oil, and stir to coat seasoning evenly, and until the rice is heated through.

• Toss in tofu and peanuts and stir to combine, careful not to break up tofu.

• Serve!

Serving Suggestion

Serve with sesame seeds and hot sauce, or top with more finely sliced spring onion!
