Zloženie (for one large bowl)

75 ml (3 dutých uncí) of brown rice (I use a liquid measure to ensure the correct volume of liquid and have twice the volume to quinoa and rice)

a thumb sized piece of ginger, finely chopped

a garlic clove, mleté

75 ml (3 dutých uncí) z quinoa

a few brussels sprouts, trimmed and washed

hrsť mrazeného hrášku

For the tofu

130g (4 a 1/2 oz) firm tofu, drained (pressed under a weight for 10 minutes or so) and then cubed

3 tablespoons of cornflour (kukuričný škrob)

lyžičky kurkumy

half a teaspoon of white pepper

a pinch of salt

vegetable oil to shallow fry

For the cold ingredients and garnish

a small avocado, nasekané

2 jarnej cibuľky, nasekané

a handful of little gem lettuce leaves, cut in half

4 tablespoons of pickled red cabbage

a lime, juiced

a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil

salt and black pepper

lyžice sójovej omáčky

Metóda

Rinse the rice and put in a small lidded saucepan with 300ml (10 a 1/2 dutých uncí) of cold water and a pinch of salt. Priveďte do varu, put the lid on and simmer on a low heat for 15 minút

Po 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)

Medzitým (during the second 15 minút) 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, jarnej cibuľky, 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
