Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim pea pods and cut into small pieces. • Cut Malaysian tofu into 1cm cubes. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook tofu and chicken, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 5-6 minutes. • Transfer to a plate.
• Return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
