Number of servings
2
1⁄3 cup (65g) brown rice rinsed
2⁄3 cup (160ml) water
1⁄4 tsp salt
300g firm tofu
1 long red chilli finely chopped, divided
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 tsp sesame oil
1⁄2 medium aubergine cut into 2cm cubes
1⁄2 red pepper cut into 2cm squares
4 bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 mins
Salad
2 Lebanese cucumbers halved & sliced on the diagonal
1⁄4 tsp salt
1⁄2 bunch of fresh coriander (80g bunch) roughly chopped
1 tsp brown rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
Place rice, water and salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 35 minutes. Remove from heat and stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Wrap tofu in paper towel and press under a weight to remove water. Cut into 3cm cubes.
Place half the chilli, all the garlic and oil in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add tofu, aubergine and red pepper. Toss gently to combine. Thread onto bamboo skewers rotating between the tofu, aubergine and red pepper.
Heat a barbecue or non-stick grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until aubergine is cooked.
Meanwhile, place the cucumber in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Add other salad ingredients and toss with remaining chilli.
Serve skewers on rice with cucumber salad on the side.
