Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 01:47:08 GMT

Step 1

Put the rice on to cook, using the method you prefer.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a deep wok, and once hot, shallow fry the tofu in batches. Fry them until crisp on the outside, about 5 minutes. It’s longer than you would for a stir fry, and once golden all over, remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

Step 3

This should use up quite a bit of the oil, but there should still be some left over. Pour most of the oil into another wide based fry pan. In that pan, fry the minced garlic and onion for a few minutes, and add the mushrooms to colour in the oil. Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and vegetable stock, and coconut sugar, and allow it to simmer with the lid off, adding the fried tofu to soak up the sauce. Add in the peppercorns and bayleaves. Cook until it reduces to a sticky sauce, and turn the heat off, putting a lid on to keep warm.

Step 4

Heat the remaining oil in the wok for the sliced garlic, and then stir fry the morning glory with the vegan fish sauce, for a couple minutes until cooked.

Step 5

Serve the rice with the adobo and the morning glory as a side dish.
