Ingredients

For 4 people

  • Coconut oil
  • ¼-½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2-3 medium-sized onions
  • 500g wholegrain basmati rice
  • 700g white cabbage
  • 1.5 L water
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper from the mill
  • Juice and zest of 1 organic lemon
  • chopped coriander
  • roasted peanuts, unsalted
  • 2 packs of tofu
  • Some flour
  • Turmeric, curry and paprika powder as desired

preparation

First, get all the ingredients ready and start by halving the onions and cutting them into strips. Then halve the cabbage, remove the stalk and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Heat the coconut oil on a medium heat and sauté the onions with the spices for about 3 minutes. Then add the rice and white cabbage and deglaze everything with water.

Bring the rice to the boil, then add the soy sauce and let it simmer over a low heat for about 30 minutes. Don't forget to stir occasionally! Towards the end of the cooking time, add the coconut milk and a little more water if necessary.

For the tofu breading, put some flour in a deep plate/shallow bowl and mix it with turmeric, curry and paprika if desired. Dry the tofu with a cloth, cut it into cubes and toss it in the flour. Then you can fry the tofu in a little oil until golden brown.

Wash the lemon thoroughly and prepare the lemon zest and lemon juice. When the rice is soft and has a risotto-like consistency, you can add the lemon juice and lemon zest as desired. Then let it steep for a short while.

Season the rice with salt and pepper and serve with tofu, lemon zest, chopped coriander and roasted peanuts.
