Ingredients

400g firm tofu
1 large aubergine
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sozye Foods Nish sauce or fish sauce
2-3 teaspoon black & white sesame seed
Chilli flakes to taste

1/4 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup edamame beans
1/2 large pak choi
1 heaped teaspoon peanut butter
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon rice vinegar,
1 teaspoon Meridian yeast extract (GF) or marmite (non-GF)
3 tablespoon water

Preparation

01

Mix the marinade ingredients for the skewers in a bowl. Cube & dry the aubergine & tofu then toss with the marinade & leave to 1 side.

02

Rinse the rice, add to a pan with 1.5 times its quantity of cold water. Bring to a boil then cover with a lid, turn the heart down & simmer until fluffy (around 10 minutes) then just leave with a lid on to steam.

03

To make the sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, rice vinegar, yeast extract, and water in a bowl.

04

Thread your marinated tofu & aubergines onto skewers & either grill on a BBQ until golden or press into a dry frying pan, turning to get all sides coloured.

Sprinkle with the sesame & chilli flakes then pop into a warm oven to keep toasty for as long as you need to.

05

Cook edamame as required (1-2 minutes boil for fresh or 3-4 minutes for frozen). Rub your pak choi cut side down in any remaining marinade & press onto your hot grill/pan until golden.

06

Add rice, edamame, pak choi & skewers to a plate, drizzle with sauce & dive in!
