Step 1

If you are using cooked rice, skip this first step. Otherwise, put the jasmine rice in a sieve and rinse it under the cold tap until the water runs clear. Tip into a saucepan, add the hot stock and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down the heat to a whisper and leave to cook for 15 minutes. Take off the heat, leave, still covered, to steam for five to 10 minutes, then lift off the lid, fluff up with a fork and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Put the oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. When hot, add the onion and fry, stirring, for about eight minutes, until softened and browning. Add the garlic, cook, still stirring, for a couple of minutes, then add the shredded cabbage and fry on a low heat, stirring every now and then, for five to seven minutes, until the cabbage has wilted. Stir in the five-spice, salt, sesame oil and soy sauce, then crumble the tofu into the pan. Fry, stirring, for a couple of minutes more, until all the ingredients are well mixed, then stir in the rice – I use a spaghetti spoon to do this, so as not to break up the rice much.

Step 3

Cook until the rice is hot and all the ingredients are well acquainted, then heap on to plates and serve with sriracha or goma sauce drizzled on top.
