Method
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Cook with 400 ml water in a saucepan or rice cooker until tender, about 12–15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and place in a bowl. Sprinkle over the cornflour and gently toss until the tofu is lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon ready sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium‑high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on most sides.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccolini and stir fry for approx 2 minutes. Stir in the edamame and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour the prepared lemon sauce mixture into the pan and toss everything together. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
- Divide the rice between plates. Spoon the lemon tofu, broccolini and edamame over the rice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
