Method

  1. Rinse the rice, add 160 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 18–20 minutes until tender, then let stand covered for 5 minutes.

  2. Boil the edamame for 4–5 minutes in boiling water and drain in a sieve.

  3. Cut the tofu1 into cubes, pat dry, and fry in a dry skillet for 5–6 minutes until lightly crusted, then add 15 ml soy sauce and heat for 1 minute.

  4. Cut the mango3, avocado4, and cucumber5 into neat cubes or slices.

  5. Mix the remaining soy sauce with the lime8 juice, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

  6. Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, arrange the tofu1, mango3, avocado4, cucumber5, and edamame in sections, and drizzle with the sauce.

Tips

Why it works
Fry the tofu in a dry pan to remove excess moisture and get a crisp crust. A wet pan makes the tofu greasy.
Substitutions
Instead of frozen edamame, use canned (80 g, drained). Instead of sesame oil, use sunflower oil (8 g), but the flavor will be more neutral.
Common mistakes
If the rice is sticky or still raw, it wasn't salted enough or wasn't left to rest under the lid after cooking. It will be gray inside.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Stir the ingredients and add fresh lime before serving. Don't freeze, as the avocado and mango will turn mushy.
Serve with
Serve for a light dinner or a picnic when you want something light but filling. Add a spicy sauce paste for contrast.
