Hawaiian-Style Fried Tofu With Coconut Rice

Also sauteed veggies in Hoisin sauce and it all went together very well.

Absolutely delicious!! Super easy and I'll definitely be making this rice again! I didn't make the tofu this time, so I can't speak to that part of the recipe yet. I did use a white rice rather than brown like the recipe suggested since that's what I had After making the rice from this recipe a few times, it is still delicious! My only complaint is that it's quite oily so from now on I will probably be cutting back the additional coconut oil. I have been using normal coconut oil since that's what I have currently so that could also be a reason it's too oily. I've made this a few more times without any additional coconut oil and normal coconut milk. It has been delicious and definitely hasn't needed the extra oil! I don't think I'd add in much, if any, even if I was using light coconut milk.

I liked this for a change, but the rice reminded me too much of rice pudding (my first time trying coconut rice), especially with the sweet charred pineapple aswell. Also, I don't feel like the lemon and cayenne worked well together, I feel like lime would have been better. However, it was nice when mixed together though, but i don't think I'd try it again. I also added green beans once the rice was ready, and left for five minutes on top with the lid on; and charred some peppers alongside the pineapple.
