Kaedah
Put the rice on to boil (see beras) with the cubed potato on top, once boiling reduce to a simmer and put the lid on for twenty minutes (the broccoli and peas will be added for the last five)
Sweat the onion in a large pan with a little salt
Add the garlic, ginger and chillies
Stir in the ground coriander and cumin seeds
Add the mushrooms and a few grinds of black pepper
Once the onion has softened add 200ml (almost a cup or 6.75 auns bendalir) of water and a bay leaf
Add the soy sauce and agave nectar and stir.
Add the tofu
Five minutes before the rice and potato is ready (once it has been cooking for 20 minit) put the broccoli on top of it and put the lid back on
Stir the cornflour into a little cold water and add this to the mushrooms and tofu, stir and allow to thicken
Serve the mushrooms and tofu and sauce over the rice and vegetables. Top with the chopped jalapenos and a sprinkling of dried, fried shallots (pilihan) and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil. Serve with extra soy sauce as required. Delicious! Enjoy.
What an amazing looking dish! Next time I buy shiitake mushrooms I will give it a try!
