Ingredients

  • 1 block tofu
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp nooch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • Diced green beans
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 ½ tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup frozen corn

Steps

  1. Drain and press the tofu. Once done pat dry with a paper towel and rip into small chunks.
  2. In a large bowl mix the cornstarch, nooch, soy sauce, oil, white pepper and garlic powder. Gently toss the tofu in the mixture until coated.
  3. Air fry the tofu at 200°C for 12-14 minutes, shaking the basket midway until golden and crispy.
  4. Break up any clumps of the cooked rice with damp hands.
  5. Heat the wok until it just begins to smoke then add oil to coat the wok. Add the onion, carrot and beans.
  6. Stir fry for a few minutes. Add the garlic and spring onion whites. Stir and cook until garlic is fragrant.
  7. Increase the heat and add the rice. Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the contents of the wok to prevent sticking.
  8. After a minute add the soy sauces, sesame oil, salt and white pepper. Stir until the rice is an even colour.
  9. Add the shaoxing wine around the perimeter and mix into the rice. Add the tofu, peas, corn and spring onion greens. Cook until peas and corn are cooked through.
