INSTRUCTIONS

1
Broil tofu and mix the sauce

Position oven rack in the center and set oven to broil. Add tofu, just half the butter sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper to a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil until tofu edges are golden brown and tofu feels firm, 10 to 12 minutes. TIP: The butter sauce might be burnt on the sheet pan; that is okay. The tofu won’t be.

2
Fry the rice

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add lime leaves, ginger, garlic, and tomato and cook until fragrant and tomato is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add precooked rice, sweet chili sauce, and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Cook rice undisturbed until it begins to brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir to incorporate ingredients. Cover and keep warm. (4-serving meal: use 4 tbsp olive oil)

3
Serve

Fill lettuce cups with ginger fried rice and divide between plates. Add crispy Indian butter tofu and drizzle remaining sauce. Top with peanuts, cilantro, and lime juice. Tuck in!
