Frypan
Large saucepan & Steamer
Whisk
Small saucepan

Ingredients

Crispy Tofu

500 g firm tofu organic non GMO
¼ cup tapioca starch
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil for frying

Orange Tamari Dressing

2 tablespoon tamari
orange zest from half orange
1 orange juiced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 ½ teaspoon tapioca starch

To Serve

150 g snow peas topped & tailed
1 handful sprouts
2 cups Brown rice
2 steams spring onion finely chopped
1 bunch kale stem removed and roughly shredded
2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 avocado sliced

Instructions

Place brown rice into a large saucepan with approximately 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Leave to simmer with the lid on until cooked through and tender.
While the rice is cooking, mix together the tamari, extra virgin olive oil, orange juice and zest in a small saucepan and set aside.
Line a bowl with clean paper towel and set aside.
Pat tofu dry, pushing down slightly to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1cm x 1cm cubes.
Add ¼ cup tapioca, salt and pepper to a medium sized bowl. Add tofu to bowl and toss to combine.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil into a frypan and bring to a medium heat. Once hot, add tofu and cook on each side of tofu until crispy and golden, being careful to not overcrowd the pan - tofu may need to be cooked in batches depending on frypan size.
Once crispy, transfer to paper towel lined bowl and cook remaining tofu.
While frying the tofu, place the snow peas into a steamer and place atop brown rice to gently steam. Once snow peas are bright green, remove steamer from top of rice and place lid back onto saucepan with rice in it.
Once tofu is all fried, add kale to frypan, tossing occasionally until wilted. Once cooked turn off the heat.
Place saucepan with tamari sauce onto stovetop and bring to a medium heat. Add tapioca starch and begin whisking straight away. Once the sauce begins to thicken, turn off the heat.
To serve, add brown rice to a bowl and top with a serving of crispy tofu, kale, snow peas, sliced avocado and sprouts. Top with Orange Tamari dressing and spring onion.
