Spicy Tofu & Cashew Rice Bowl

This recipe is almost identical to my ‘Teriyaki Tofu Don’. I used a different flavoured sauce that was quite spicy, and I added Cashew Nuts for extra nutrients. This is a vegetarian dish. If you omit the Egg, it can be vegan. Coating Tofu pieces with Potato Starch is the important part of this recipe. I encourage you to do the extra process.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine all the Marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl.

* Step 2

Cut Firm Tofu to bite-size pieces. Add to the Marinade and mix to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes, OR longer if possible.

* Step 3

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. This sauce is spicy enough for me, but you may wish to add more Chilli Flakes OR your favourite Chilli Sauce.

* Step 4

Prepare Eggs. Today I fried Eggs.

* Step 5

Drain Tofu Pieces to remove excess liquid if there is any, and coat the Tofu pieces with Potato Starch (OR Corn Starch). Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook until nicely browned and crispy. Add Cashew Nuts and stir until browned, then add the Sauce and combine well.

* Step 6

Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice, place Egg and Tofu. Sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion, Toasted Sesame Seeds and Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix), and enjoy.
