Step 1: Rice

Always wash rice before cooking, drain off excess water with sieve.

Gas Hob (100g rice with 150g water)

• Bring to boil on medium to high heat. (Take off the lid if the water starts to overspill.)
• Turn down to low, cover with lid and cook until water is fully absorbed. (approximately 10 minutes)
• Turn the gas off and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Microwave (100g rice with 200g water)

• Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes with no lid
• Take out of the microwave, cover with lid and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Tofu and Sauce (while the rice is resting)

• Add some oil to a wok/frying pan over medium to high heat, add tofu and cook until golden brown outside, take them out the pan and set aside to rest.
• Add a little oil to the same pan and fry the onion over medium heat until they are soft.
• Add tofu and sauce into the pan, continue to cook until everything is fully combined.

Step 3: Broccoli/ Mixed Vegetables

• Add a little oil to wok or frying pan and place over medium to high heat.
• Add in broccoli/mixed vegetables, season with salt and stir continuously for 1 minute.
• Add a little water just to cover the bottom of the pan and cook with lid on until the broccoli/mixed vegetables are tender.
