Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Lightly oil the grill.
  • While you prep, preheat the grill to 400°F over medium heat.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and 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.
Start prep
2
  • While rice cooks, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Trim the bottom of lemongrass, then remove outer layer. Using a rolling pin or heavy pot, carefully smash lemongrass to split open. Finely mince lemongrass.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
Marinate tofu
3
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.
  • To a medium bowl, add tofu, garlic, lemongrass, half the soy sauce, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Finish prep
4
  • Peel, pit, then cut mango into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
  • Thinly slice cucumber.
  • Zest, then juice lime.
Make slaw and grill tofu
5
  • To a large bowl, add mango, cucumber, half the green onions, half the sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. (TIP: If you prefer a sweeter slaw, add more sugar, to taste.) 
  • Add tofu to the grill. Close lid and grill tofu 4-5 min per side, flipping once, until grill-marked. (NOTE: Make sure grill is evenly oiled before adding tofu to prevent sticking.) 
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest and half the peanuts. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Thinly slice tofu, if desired.
  • Divide rice, tofu and mango slaw between plates.
  • Spread remaining sweet chili sauce over tofu. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
  • Sprinkle remaining peanuts over slaw.

Season tofu the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken. Grill tofu 4-5 min per side, flipping once, until grill-marked.
