Preparation
Step 1
Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain. Grate, using a box grater, and spread out onto a piece of kitchen paper, on a clean surface. Set aside, allowing the kitchen paper to absorb excess moisture; use another piece of kitchen paper to gently press down on top.
Step 2
Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the grated tofu and cook for 2–3 minutes. Due to the high water content in tofu, it won’t turn golden or crispy, but instead ensure it’s hot at this stage. Then add the sliced pepper, courgette and carrot; fry for 8–10 minutes until softened and the liquid released from the vegetables and tofu has evaporated.
Step 3
Tip in the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds until it smells fragrant. Add the rice and fry on high for 3–4 minutes until the rice is hot and combined with the vegetables.
Step 4
Add the spring onions, soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste; toss together so everything is coated. Serve topped with extra spring onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
