Servings: 2
Equipment
- Rice cooker
Ingredients
- ¼ cup dragonfruit flesh only used frozen and drained out the liquid
- ½ cup chopped green beans or veggies of choice
- ½ cup pan-fried tofu and seasoned with salt
- ¼ cup frozen corn
- ¼ cup toasted cashews
- 2-3 cups of cooked rice
- salt to taste
- fried shallots for garnish optional
- oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a heated wok with oil, sauté green beans, pan-fried tofu, and frozen corn for a minute or so over medium-high heat. Then season with salt and turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Using the same wok, add a little more oil if needed, 'fry' the cooked rice until you see the grain starts to dance in the wok.
- Use the back of the spatula and press the rice to loosen the grain (use light pressure and not mash it)
- Then, add in the dragonfruit flesh and toss everything together until the rice is well coated with the color.
- Place the cooked veggies and tofu in and give it another toss until well-combined. Season to taste and finally, add in the toasted cashews.
- Serve warm with homemade sambal (check my blog for the recipe and video), pickles, tomato slices, fried shallots, and salad.
