Ingredients
Scale
Marinade and Dressing
- 100ml low-salt soy sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 garlic cloves
- 5g piece of ginger, peeled
- ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
Main Ingredients
- 280g extra-firm tofu, drained
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 300g frozen broccoli
- 2 x 250g pouches brown basmati rice
Instructions
- Marinate the Tofu: Put 50ml of the soy sauce and half the lime juice in a shallow dish. Crush in 2 garlic cloves. Slice the tofu into four equal squares and add to the marinade. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Steam the Broccoli: Fill a medium saucepan a quarter full with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place a colander over the pan, add the broccoli, cover, and steam for 10 minutes or until tender.
- Prepare the Dressing: Grate the remaining 2 garlic cloves and the ginger into a small bowl. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and lime juice, chopped red chilli, and honey. Set aside.
- Dry the Tofu and Whisk Eggs: Drain the tofu from the marinade and pat dry thoroughly. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Cook the Tofu Omelettes: Heat ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a piece of tofu to the pan and pour a quarter of the whisked egg over it. Use a fish slice to push the egg towards the tofu, forming a small eggy tofu square. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden, carefully turning. Set aside and keep warm. Repeat this process with the remaining oil, tofu, and egg.
- Cook the Rice: Cook the brown basmati rice following the package instructions.
- Serve: Plate the tofu omelettes with steamed broccoli and brown basmati rice. Drizzle the chilli soy dressing over the dish and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure tofu is well dried after marinating to help the eggs adhere better during cooking.
- Adjust the amount of red chilli in the dressing to suit your preferred spice level.
- The dish can be served with other vegetables or alternative grains as desired.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with chickpea flour batter or tofu scramble, and omit honey or replace with maple syrup.
