Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by cooking the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, typically simmering it in a pot with water for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While the oven is heating, drain and press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with avocado oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Spread the cubed tofu evenly on the lined baking sheet and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In a medium pan, heat a tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat, then add finely chopped shallot, ginger, and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk, additional soy sauce, maple syrup, and paprika into the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Once the sauce has thickened, gently add the baked tofu cubes to the pan along with lime juice.
- To serve, spoon the fluffy jasmine rice onto plates and top generously with the Coconut Lime Tofu mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
