Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Jasmine rice

  • 250g grams Tofu cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup Raw cashews
  • 1 large Brown onion finely diced
  • 1 red Bell pepper roughly chopped

Stir-fry sauce

  • ½ cup Soy sauce
  • ½ cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking the jasmine rice by adding the rice to a pot with 3 cups of water. Bringing it to a boil then simmer until the rice is cooked (15-20 minutes).
  • Next, heat a non-stick frying pan on high heat. After 2 minutes add 3 tablespoons of olive and the tofu. Cook for 5 minutes until it becomes crispy. When the tofu is nice and crispy, put it in a bowl and set it aside. Repeat this step for the cashews.
  • Make the stir-fry sauce by combining the soy sauce, vegetable broth, sweet chilli sauce, garlic, brown sugar and tapioca starch. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the frying pan and cook the onions on high heat for a few minutes. Add the red and green bell pepper and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until hot but remains crispy.
  • Add the crispy tofu, cashews and the sauce and mix well. Remove from the heat, garnish with finely diced spring onion and serve hot with jasmine rice.
