Directions
-
Step 1
Cook the rice according to its packet instructions and set aside.
-
Step 2
To marinate the tofu, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, sweetener and garlic in a shallow bowl. Add the tofu and toss until all sides are marinated.
-
Step 3
In a large fry pan over high heat, add the tofu without the marinade. Cook the tofu on one side for 2 minutes or until golden brown then flip onto the other side. Add the remaining marinade and allow the tofu to caramelise. Set aside.
-
Step 4
To cook the vegetables, add the sesame oil and garlic to another large fry pan. Saute until the garlic is fragrant. Add the spinach to one side of the pan, the bean sprouts on another side and the carrots on the third side. Saute each of the vegetables until they are slightly softened. Season each of the vegetables with salt.
-
Step 5
Divide the rice into two bowls. Arrange tofu, cooked vegetables and cucumber on top. Serve with your favourite chilli sauce.
