2In a heated oiled pan, stir fry onions & garlic till fragrant. Add in carrots, mushrooms & continue to stir fry for 1-2 mins

3Next add in tomato puree, tomato sauce & mushroom seasoning powder. Stir-fry till tomato mixture is slightly reduced then stir in rice so it is all well combined. Lastly, add 2 tbsp of Nuttelex and mix through so rice is coated, and continue till cooked through. Then season to taste with salt, pepper & chilli and set aside – keeping warm

To Make the Tofu Pockets

1Cut tofu block into half and pat dry

2Gently scoop out some of the tofu from the inner sides of each halved piece of tofu to form a pocket

3Shallow fry all sides of tofu on a heated oiled pan until golden brown. Set aside. Keep pan (unwashed) for next step

Make the Glaze & Assemble

1In the same heated pan you used for the tofu pockets above, combine the light soy sauce, sugar & mirin. Cook for 1-2 minutes then stir in the cornflour mixture till it thickens to form a glaze. Then add tofu pockets and coat with the glaze, set aside

2To assemble, gently fill the tofu pockets with the Tomato Yakimeshi mix then top with seaweed, sesame seeds, spring onions, red radish & serve
