Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely grate the ginger. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and the salt to the pan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
Thinly slice the button mushrooms. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Roughly chop the Asian greens. Thinly slice the spring onion. Zest the lime (see ingredients list), then slice into wedges. Thinly slice the long green chilli (if using). Reserve the marinade from the Peking tofu, then cut the tofu into 1cm cubes.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook, tossing, until browned and warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and carrot and cook until softened, 6-7 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1 minute. Add the Southeast Asian spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. While the veggies are cooking, combine the soy sauce, water (for the sauce), lime zest and reserved Peking marinade in a small bowl.
Add the Peking sauce mixture to the pan along with the tofu and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Toss to coat and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Divide the garlic and ginger rice between bowls and top with the Peking tofu stir-fry. Garnish with the crushed peanuts, chilli (if using) and spring onion. Serve with any remaining lime wedges.
