Ingredients

Rice

450g short grain rice
3 1/4 cup boiling water

Tofu

900g tofu, diced 2cm
3 Tbsp cornflour
1 drizzle of oil
200g teriyaki sauce

Toppings

1 pack edamame beans
1 telegraph cucumber, cut in half lengthways & thinly sliced
2 avocado, thinly sliced
1 pack shredded nori

Sesame Mayo (optional)

3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Steps

Bring a full kettle to the boil.
Combine rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
Pat tofu dry and dice. Place in a medium bowl and gently toss with cornflour, until well coated. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on high heat and cook tofu for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until golden. Add teriyaki sauce and cook for about 2 minutes, until sauce has reduced slightly and become sticky.
Place edamame in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to cook for about 6 minutes. Drain and season with salt.
Cut cucumber in half lengthways and thinly slice. Thinly slice avocado and set them aside to serve.
In a small bowl, mix mayo and sesame oil.
Rice topped with edamame, tofu, cucumber, avocado, nori and a dollop of sesame mayo.
