Tender tofu is one of our favourite ingredients for soaking up bold Thai flavours. In this plant-based dish, the peanutty Malaysian tofu works a treat with the creamy, zingy sauce and fluffy rice.

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) 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 and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Cut bamboo shoots (see ingredients) into bite-sized chunks. • Thinly slice red onion. • Cut Malaysian tofu into 2cm chunks.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Scrunch half of the sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook tofu, tossing, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, bamboo shoots and the remaining onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the remaining garlic and mild Thai red curry paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add coconut milk, the water (for the curry), soy sauce, brown sugar and tofu and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Drain the pickled onion. • Divide garlic rice between bowls and spoon over Thai-style tofu and veggie red curry. • Top with pickled onion, a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt and crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
