  • 255g basmati rice
  • 80g spinach

  • 25g hoisin sauce
  • 15g spring onions
  • 3g garlic
  • pinch of Chinese five-spice
  • 20g cashews
  • 5g sesame oil
  • 40g cucumber

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and pak choi, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Press the tofu for 10 minutes, cut into cubes and air-fry or pan-fry until golden and crisp on all sides (about 12 minutes).

  4. 4

    Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and pak choi for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: basmati rice first, then the veg and crispy tofu, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the cashews, sesame oil for extra energy-dense calories.
