Instructions
• In a medium saucepan, add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside, covered, until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add cucumber to pickling liquid with just enough water to cover cucumber. Set aside.
TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!
• Thinly slice celery. Roughly chop Asian greens. Cut firm tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm cubes. • In a second medium bowl, combine tofu, sweet-soy seasoning and the plain flour. Toss to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast sesame seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a third small bowl. • Add the soy sauce and a pinch of sugar to the toasted sesame seeds. Mix well and set aside.
