We’ve made this rice vegan by using silken tofu. You can use chilled leftover cooked rice instead of the pouch, if you have some in your fridge. If you don’t have fresh chilli, you can use a pinch of dried chilli flakes.
This recipe is so easy, you don’t even need to boil your rice, instead you use a pouch of microwave rice!

Directions
- Heat a small glug oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat for 1min. Add the tofu, turmeric and some seasoning. Fry, stirring to break up the tofu, for 2-3min, or until it’s starting to feel firmer. Tip into a bowl.

Stir through the rice and the peas, breaking up any lumps of rice, and cook for 2min, until piping hot. Tip the tofu back into the pan and add the soy sauce. Stir to combine.
- Divide between 2 plates, sprinkle over the sesame seeds, if using, and serve with a spoonful of kimchi, if you like.
