Anhui Bang Tofu and Cabbage Stir-Fry

with Cucumber and Buttery Garlic Egg Fried Rice

40 min
Difficulty: 1/3
Chinese

Anhui bang tofu salad is a traditional cold dish from the Anhui province of China. The word “bang” means “to mix” or “to toss”, which why it's often paired with salad style dishes. This one is a nutty, garlicky and tangy salad, which is normally served a a cold starter but we've adapted it for dinnertime as a warm stir-fry.

Preparation
1
Rice is Nice

Pop a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat. Melt in the butter (see pantry for amount).

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

When the butter has melted, add half the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min. Stir in the rice until coated, 1 min. 

Add ¼ tsp salt and the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2
Finish the Prep

Meanwhile, drain the tofu and thoroughly pat dry with kitchen paper. Tear into 3cm chunks.

Add the tofu to a medium bowl with the cornflour. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 

Trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm thick half moons. 

Put the rice vinegar, ginger puree, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, peanut butter, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into another bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.

3
Cook the Cabbage

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

When hot, add the cabbage and remaining garlic and stir-fry for 2 mins.

Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water, mix well and cover with a lid (or foil). Cook until just tender, 3-4 mins.

Once cooked, transfer the cabbage to a medium bowl. Add the cucumber and set aside.

Set aside your pan - you'll use it for the tofu.

4
Egg Fried Rice is Nice

Once the rice is cooked, in a medium bowl, whisk the egg (see pantry for amount) until combined and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

Pour the egg into the frying pan and cook for 30 secs without stirring, then gently stir to break it up, making sure the egg doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure egg whites are fully cooked.

Once cooked, add the rice to the egg along with a third of the soy sauce and stir together. Remove from the heat and set the pan aside.

5
Fry your Tofu

Put the frying pan back on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 8-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the peanut and sweet chilli sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 mins, then remove the pan from the heat.

Add a splash of water if it's a little thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.

Add the tofu and sauce to the bowl with the cabbage and cucumber and mix together until combined.

6
Finish and Serve

Divide the rice between your bowls.

Top with the Anhui bang tofu.

Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and enjoy!
