How to make Chipotle Tofu Rice Bowl

  1. Preheat the grill to a medium heat.

  2. Coat the corn in oil, salt and pepper and pop into the grill until it charred and blistered.

  3. Chop up the firm tofu into 2cm squares and coat in 2 tbsp of your cornflour, cayenne, oregano, garlic powder and ground cumin.

  4. Add a small glug of oil into a frying pan and fry the tofu on all sides until golden brown for 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a paper towel.

  5. In the same pan, add a little oil and grate in your clove of garlic. Fry for one minute, then add your tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes until it is a dark brown. Add in the chipotle paste and the agave.

  6. Mix your remaining cornflour with 1 tbsp water. Pour 250ml water into your pan, then add your cornstarch slurry. Mix well until combined, then simmer until you have a thick sauce. Toss in the tofu and coat, adding a little more water to loosen if necessary.

  7. Finely chop up the red onion, coriander and green chilli. Dice the tomatoes.

  8. Combine the tomatoes, coriander, chilli and half of the red onion in a bowl. Squeeze in the juice of a lime and season with salt.

  9. Cook the rice as per instructions on pack. In another pan, fry your remaining red onion and cumin seeds in oil for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add in the tin of drained black beans and mix gently to warm through. When the beans are ready add the cooked rice to the beans and take off the heat..

  10. Slice off the corn from the cob and season with salt.

  11. Plate up the bowls with a bed of rice and then chipotle tofu, salsa and corn. Squeeze on some more lime and coriander, then dig in.
