    Take out a saucepan, a mixing bowl and a large frying pan.

    Equipment: saucepan, mixing bowl, large frying pan
  2. Cook the coconut rice

    10 min

    Tear the tofu into bite-sized chunks with your hands. Heat a drizzle of oil in your flying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the jerk sauce and warm through for 30-60 seconds. Take the pan off the heat (to keep the tofu crispy), then add the the tofu back into the pan. Stir gently until the tofu is all evenly coated.
