Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. 2In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the porridge is creamy.
  3. 3While the rice is cooking, press the tofu to remove excess water, then dice it into small cubes.
  4. 4In a separate pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced tofu, ginger, and garlic, and cook until the tofu is lightly golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5Stir in the soy sauce and red pepper flakes into the tofu mixture. Cook for another minute.
  6. 6Once the rice porridge is ready, stir in the lime juice.
  7. 7Divide the porridge into bowls and top with the crispy tofu, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of sesame oil (optional).
