Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • 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.

2
Prep

  • 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.

3
Make sauce and toast cashews

  • 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.

4
Cook tofu and veggies

  • 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.

5
Finish tofu

  • 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.

6
Finish and serve

  • 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.

7

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. 

8

Cook tofu for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned all over. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
