1 tbs. Asian sesame oil
1 sm. onion, finely diced (1/2 cup)
1 tbs. minced fresh ginger
1 sm. clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1.3/4 cups uncooked basmati rice
15-oz. can low-fat coconut milk
1/2 tsp. grated lime peel
1/2 tsp. salt
20 oz. extra-firm tofu, well drained and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 tbs. ground coriander
1 tbs. ground cumin
2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 tbs. peanut oil
4 scallions, white and light green parts coarsely chopped
2 tbs. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
Rice: In a 3-qt. saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion, ginger, garlic
and turmeric and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes. Add rice to
saucepan, stirring to coat. Add coconut milk, 2 cups water, lime peel
and salt. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover
and cook until rice is tender, stirring twice during cooking, 15 to 18 min.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, while you prepare tofu. Don't
worry if mixture looks wet-liquid will be absorbed by the time your're ready
to serve.
In large bowl, combine tofu, coriander, cumin, sugar, salt paprika and cayenne.
Using rubber spatula, toss gently to coat. In wok or large skillet, heat oil over
medium-high heat. Add tofu and stir-fry until crispy and golden, 5 to 7 min. Add
scallions and stir-fry until just wilted, 1 to 2 min. Stir in lime juice.
Divide Coconut rice among plated and spoon tofu mixture on top. Garnish with
cilantro and serve hot.
