Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional but adds a nice flavour)
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4-5 shitake mushrooms, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 head broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 1/2 red capsicum, chopped into 1-2cm pieces
- 1 450g block of firm tofu, chopped into 1-2cm pieces
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 2-3 tbsp tamari or low salt soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp black salt (optional, to add an eggy flavour)
- Dry roasted cashews to serve
- Kimchi to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Chop all the vegetables and tofu and set aside.
- Place a large wok over high heat until hot, then add the sesame oil. Once the sesame oil is hot, add the onion, tofu and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Next add the carrot and broccoli. Mix to combine with other ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of water here or there if the vegetables and tofu begin to stick. The water also helps to cook the vegetables.
- Now add the capsicum and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the rice, turmeric, tamari and black salt if desired.
- Continue to stir and combine all the flavours until all the vegetables are cooked and the rice is beginning to brown on the bottom of the wok.
- Remove from the heat. Serve topped with a handful of cashews and a spoonful of kimchi. Yum!
Notes
Feel free to use any vegetables you prefer or have on hand. Cauliflower is nice, or frozen peas.
