METHOD
  1. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. When rice has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat sesame oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Toast supernut mix with peanuts for about 1 minute, until toasted OR add crunch peanut butter to oil and stir for 1 minute.
  3. Add shallots, makrut leaf, salt and ginger to pan and cook a further 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add tofu and first measures of soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce to pan, and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. While tofu simmers, whisk together second measures of soy sauce, sesame oil, sweet chilli sauce and rice wine vinegar in a large bowl.
  6. Thinly slice bok choy; cut carrot into thin matchsticks or grate; roughly chop baby spinach leaves OR your choice of slaw ingredients. Toss in a large bowl with dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. To serve, spoon ¾ cup cooked brown rice into each bowl and spoon over super nut tofu satay with plenty of sauce. Top with a handful of Asian slaw and garnish with coriander. Super yum!
