INGREDIENTS
250g Extra-Firm Tofu
100g Cooked Jasmine Rice
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 tbsp Fresh Grated Ginger
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Chopped Scallions
2 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
1 tbsp Cornstarch
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes and pat dry.
In a bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until all sides are crispy and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
In a separate small saucepan, combine the light coconut milk, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Heat gently until warmed through, allowing the flavors to meld. Avoid boiling to preserve the coconut flavor.
Layer the bowl with cooked jasmine rice. Drizzle a portion of the warm coconut-ginger sauce over the rice.
Top with the crispy tofu cubes and garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro.
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
