INGREDIENTS
300g Extra-Firm Tofu
15g Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
0.5 cup Jasmine Rice (cooked)
0.25 cup Light Coconut Milk
0.33 cup Shelled Edamame
1 tbsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
In a shallow bowl, season the tofu cubes with salt and pepper and gently toss them in the unsweetened shredded coconut until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the coconut-crusted tofu to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the pre-cooked jasmine rice with light coconut milk. Warm over low heat and stir in lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a creamy, flavorful base.
Fold in the shelled edamame into the warm rice, allowing them to heat through without overcooking.
Plate a serving of creamy ginger rice, top with the crispy coconut-tofu, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of textures and tropical flavors.
