Southeast Asian Tofu & Chicken Coconut Curry

with Ginger-Garlic Rice & Crushed Peanuts

This golden tofu and chicken dish comes together in four surprisingly simple steps, partly thanks to some shortcut ingredients. Wait till you try the coconut sauce; it's creamy and umami with a touch of sweetness and zing, and the chewy udon soak it up beautifully.

Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced bamboo shoots with zucchini and red onion with brown onion, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook ginger paste and 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. • 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!
