• Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 12 minutes.

• Meanwhile, slice cucumber into half-moons.
• Thinly slice radish and fresh chilli (if using).
• Cut lime into wedges.
• Cut plain tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm chunks.
• When rice has 5 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When the oil is hot, cook tofu, turning occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add sweet soy seasoning and ginger paste and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat and stir in sweet chilli sauce, the soy sauce and a squeeze of lime juice, until beef is coated.
• In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, radish, slaw mix, the sesame oil and a drizzle of vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide rice and sesame slaw between bowls. Top with Thai chilli and ginger beef larb and tofu.
• Tear over mint and sprinkle over chilli. Serve with remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
