Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1
  • Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 

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

Make the spicy pickles
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add cucumber and chill to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.

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

Get prepped
3
  • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Slice brown onion into thin wedges. Slice lime into wedges.
  • Cut firm tofu (see ingredients) into 1cm chunks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine tofu, tamarind seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
Start the curry
4
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook carrot and onion until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook tofu, turning occasionally, until golden, 5-7 minutes. 
Bring it all together
5
  • Add rendang paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add coconut milk, cooked veggies and a splash of water, simmering until curry is browned and thickened, 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir through a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste.
Finish & serve
6
  • Drain spicy pickles.
  • Divide rice and tofu rendang between bowls.
  • Serve with spicy pickled cucumbers. Enjoy!
