Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Peel, then grate or mince half the ginger (use all for 4 servings).
  • Heat a medium pot over medium-high.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, rice and ginger. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant. 
  • Stir in 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt.
  • Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
    Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep and fry tofu
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While pan heats, pat tofu thoroughly dry with paper towels, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Transfer to a shallow dish. Season with salt, pepper and cornstarch over top, then toss to coat.
  • When pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then tofu. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook tofu in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden all over.
  • Transfer tofu to a plate.
Prep
3
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice celery.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (3/4 cups) warm water and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add sweet chili sauce and oyster sauce. Whisk to combine.
Cook veggies and shrimp
4
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, shrimp, celery and peppers.
  • Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp and shrimp just turn pink.**
Finish tofu
5
  • Add tofu and sauce mixture to pan (TIP: If sauce mixture has settled, re-whisk before adding). Stir to coat.
  • Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
Finish and serve

  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in half the green onions.
