Cooking Steps

1
1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

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

• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice cucumber (see ingredients) into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.

TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Roughly chop Asian greens. • Cut Japanese tofu into 2cm cubes. • In a medium bowl, combine tofu, Southeast Asian spice blend (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil.
