How to Serve this Vegetable Tofu Stew

Serve with Rice

This hearty and comforting stew can be served with a side of your favourite rice, from brown to basmati!

Hint: to make a round little rice ‘bundle’ on your plate like in the photos, all you need is a measuring cup! Simply scoop up the rice in a measuring cup the size of your choice. Pat the rice down into the cup so it is packed in. Then turn the measuring cup upside down and voilà! You’ve elevated your plating with a pro looking rice bundle or rice ‘dome’.
