Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 3 the day before, cool, cover and chill. Reheat and finish off the recipe.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan. Add the red onion, season lightly, cover and let it soften for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and cut the carrots into 1cm slices on the diagonal, chop the courgette into 1cm-thick half-moons, roughly chop the pepper and add all to the pan. Season; fry for 3 minutes or until the veg just begin to soften.
- Whisk together the cooking paste ingredients and add to the pan. Stir to coat and cover with 500ml water before adding the kimchi. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse your rice thoroughly and transfer to a saucepan. Add 500ml boiling water, return to the boil and stir, then reduce to a slow simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Set aside and allow it to steam until needed.
- Add the tofu to the stew and heat through for a further 5 minutes.
- Serve in bowls with rice, apple matchsticks, coriander and spring onion.
Thank goodness for pre-marinated tofu pieces. With all the hard work already done, all you really need to do is add them to your favourite dish. They have bags of texture and flavour. Even the most fervent of tofu-phobes have succumbed to the delights of these ready-to-use pieces.
