Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine rice, Thai Seasoning, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
- Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- To a large bowl, add tofu, half the cornstarch and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) soy sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, in a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining cornstarch and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water.
- When hot, add cashews to the dry pan.
- Toast for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until golden and nutty. (TIP: Keep your eye on the cashews so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Return the same pan to medium-high.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu.
- Cook for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned all over.
- Add peppers. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until slightly softened.
- Add bok choy.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chili sauce mixture and garlic to the pan with tofu and veggies.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Roughly chop cashews.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork until butter melts.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide rice between plates. Top with tofu and veggies.
- Sprinkle cashews over top.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season tofu the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken.
Cook tofu for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned all over. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
