Meetod
Rinse the rice and put in a small lidded saucepan with 300ml (10 ja 1/2 vedeliku untsi) of cold water and a pinch of salt. Aetakse keema, put the lid on and simmer on a low heat for 15 protokoll
Pärast 15 minutes top with the quinoa and brussels sprouts, put the lid back on and cook for a further 10 minutes before topping with the peas and cooking for a further 5 (30 minutes from start to finish)
Samal ajal (during the second 15 protokoll) heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan on a medium high heat. Mix together the cornflour, turmeric, white pepper and salt in a bowl and roll the tofu cubes so they are throughly coated. Fry them on all sides until crisp and brown
Turn the rice, quinoa and sprouts into a bowl and top with the avocado, spring onions, lettuce, red cabbage and tofu
Drizzle over the toasted sesame oil, the lime juice, the soy sauce and season with salt and black pepper
Sprinkle over the black sesame seeds if using and drizzle over the hot sauce
