Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add jasmine rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed,
10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so
don't peek!
• Meanwhile, roughly chop Asian greens.
• Thinly slice button mushrooms and spring onion (including the white ends).
• Cut plain tofu (see ingredients) into 2cm chunks.
• When rice has 15 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Add mushrooms and white ends of spring onion and cook until just browned and softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add tofu and gently toss until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
• Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to low, then stir in Sichuan garlic paste, soy sauce mix, the sesame oil and a splash of water.
• Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice and mapo-style tofu between bowls.
• Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and remaining spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
