Ingredients
- 150 g firm tofu *1
- 1 bunch bok choy or any of your favourite veggies
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil *3
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 cup cooked rice *2
Instructions
- Wrap the tofu in a paper towel and place it on a plate with another plate on top of the tofu to drain the excess water. Leave for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, wash the bok choy and cook it in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the bok choy and serve it on a plate with the brown rice.
- Heat the oil in a pan on high heat and cook the tofu until browned on both sides.
- Combine the soy sauce and mirin in a small mixing bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the tofu in the pan until the sauce has reduced/evaporated a little.
- Serve the tofu on top of the rice and bok choy and drizzle the extra sauce on top.

Notes
