This week we are back with a super easy, extremely more-ish tofu rice dish. One batch serves 4 so you it’s great for a family dinner or you can portion out for the week. If tofu ain’t your thing – chicken, salmon, tuna, or a couple of eggs cooked through are all great protein swaps for this dish.
Ps. Please note when keeping rice ensure to cook quickly and keep in the fridge until ready to eat and if reheating ensure it is hot right though until piping hot!
