పద్ధతి

Rinse the rice and put in a small lidded saucepan with 300ml (10 మరియు 1/2 ద్రవం ounces) of cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, put the lid on and simmer on a low heat for 15 నిమిషాల

తర్వాత 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)

In the meantime (during the second 15 నిమిషాల) 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, వసంత ఉల్లిపాయలు, 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
