- 150 g white rice (~ 2/3 cup)
- 150 ml coconut milk (~ 2/3 cup)
- 150 ml water (~ 2/3 cup)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 200 g extra firm tofu, cut into 1.5cm dice (~ 1 cup when diced)
- 375 g chopped mixed stir fry veggies (~ 4 1/2 cups) - I used a mixture of mushrooms, carrot, bean sprouts, cabbage, red onion, etc
- 175 g pineapple chunks (~ 1 cup) - fresh or tinned
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Small bunch fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
Add the uncooked rice to a saucepan, and add the coconut milk and water. Bring to a simmer, and cook over a medium / low heat for around 10 minutes, stirring regularly to stop the rice from sticking or burning. When any excess liquid has been absorbed, taste the rice, and add a dash more water if it still needs to cook for longer. If the rice is cooked and there's still some excess liquid, drain it in a sieve.
While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the diced tofu, and cook over a medium heat for around 5-10 minutes, turning regularly, until golden brown and crispy all over.
Add the veggies to the pan with the tofu, and stir fry for a few more minutes, until slightly soft. Add the pineapple chunks.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well, and pour over the vegetable mixture. Cook for a few more minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the pineapple tofu stir fry with the coconut rice, topped with some fresh coriander (cilantro).
Feel free to use your favourite stir fry vegetables for this recipe. I tend to use a pre-chopped stir fry mix, purely for convenience.
