Method

  1. Drain the tofu really well, then wrap in kitchen paper (you may need to do this a few times to remove as much moisture as possible). Set aside for 5 mins.
  2. Cook the rice to pack instructions. Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 2cm pieces. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat, then fry the tofu for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan and add the cabbage, mushrooms and peppers. Stir-fry for 5-6 mins until tender; season.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, lime zest and 50ml boiling water in a heatproof jug. Set aside.
  5. Add the garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 2 more mins. Return the tofu to the pan along with the peanut butter sauce and most of the coriander. Cook for 1-2 mins until everything is piping hot and coated in the sauce. Divide the rice between bowls, top with the stir-fry, then scatter with the remaining coriander. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
