Oh man, I feel like hell. I’ve got some revolting laryngitis\/bronchitis combination and I haven’t been able to speak properly for a couple of days. I’m the hoarse whisperer, ha ha. I think I have produced my own body weight in phlegm in the last week. How delightful and charming I am!<\/p>\n

Anyway, in an attempt to unblock a sinus or two, I made this excellent, ginger- and chili-heavy lunch while home sick from work yesterday. It was delicious enough to cut through my virus-induced anhedonia as soon as I took the first bite. I was asleep on the couch again 20 minutes later, but the brief interlude of enjoyment was nice.<\/p>\n

<\/span>
\n100 g tofu, cut into 1 cm-thick slices
\npeanut oil
\ntamari
\nfish sauce
\n3 large golden shallots, peeled, halved and finely sliced
\n1 x 2 x 2 cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into fine slivers
\n1 large hot red chili, chopped (including seeds)
\n1\/2 cup left-over cooked brown rice
\n2\/3 cup spring onion kimchi, roughly chopped (it will cook down)
\ntoasted sesame oil<\/p>\n

In a frypan, heat a scant splash of peanut oil over moderate heat, then add the tofu slices. Cook on one side until starting to turn golden, then flip and repeat on the other side. Close to the end of cooking, splash in a little soy sauce and fish sauce, and turn the tofu once more to coat. Remove from the pan and set aside. Cut the tofu into batons.<\/p>\n

Wipe out the pan, add a dash more oil, and cook the shallots until they are golden and softened. Add the ginger and chili and cook a further three minutes. Add the rice, kimchi, tofu batons, a few drops of tamari and a good drizzle of sesame oil. Keep cooking, stirring all together, for another couple of minutes until everything is warm and toasted. Eat at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
