Cooking Steps

• Drain and rinse white rice. • Boil the kettle. In a medium saucepan, add the boiling water (11/4 cups for 2 people / 21/2 cups for 4 people). • Add white rice, stir, bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from the heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• Meanwhile, thinly slice tomato into rounds. Cut Japanese tofu into 2cm chunks. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and olive oil (2tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). • Dip pork schnitzels into flour mixture, followed by egg and finally in panko mixture. Set aside on a plate. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, tossing until browned, 3-4 minutes. Set aside on a plate.

TIP: No air fryer? Leave the oil out of the panko mix!

• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, set air fryer to 200°C. • Place crumbed pork into air fryer basket and cook until golden and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Cook in batches if needed.

TIP: No air fryer? When rice has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan with enough olive oil to coat the base over high heat. Fry pork schnitzels in batches, until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Meanwhile, combine Japanese style dressing and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. • Just before serving, add cooked tofu, mixed salad leaves and tomato. Toss to coat.

TIP: Tossing the salad just before serving keeps the leaves crisp!
