Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1½ tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Shaoxing Rice Wine
  • 1 tbsp medium curry powder
  • 280g The Tofoo Co Naked Tofu, patted dry, halved and cut into thin slices

  • 210g pack Waitrose Sweet & Tender Stir Fry
  • 2 x 250g pouches microwaveable wholegrain rice

Method

  1. Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine and curry powder in a bowl. Toss in the tofu to coat, then set aside to marinate. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and finely chop the ginger and garlic.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. When hot, add the tofu to the pan (reserving the marinade). Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until golden in places. Scoop out of the pan and set aside on a plate.

  3. Add the stir fry mix to the pan with a pinch of salt and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, then add the mushrooms, ginger and garlic; fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the rice, reserved marinade and 2 tbsp water. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, return the tofu to the pan and gently toss everything together until piping hot. Serve immediately.

Cook’s tip

Leftovers, Shaoxing rice wine

With a complex, slightly sweet flavour, Shaoxing rice wine is a staple in Chinese cooking. Add it to stir fries, noodle dishes and soups. It does contain alcohol, so substitute with a little balsamic vinegar or vegetable stock if necessary.
