Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
500 g microwave rice your choice
Soy sauce ¼ cup
1 tablespoon mirin
Sesame oil 2 tbsp
1 zucchini
1 red capsicum
½ white onion
1 pickled gherkin opt.
1 cup frozen corn kernels
400 g firm tofu
3 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce sub oyster sauce
1 cup frozen edamame beans sub frozen peas
1 avocado
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoon crispy fried onions

Instructions

Preheat your grill and get out a large baking tray and oil it.
TIP: If your oven and grill are separate, preheat your oven to 200 C too.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Break up packet rice in the packet, then spread rice over the tray. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin and a tablespoon sesame oil and mix through, then place under the grill for 3 minutes (be careful it doesn’t burn).

Meanwhile chop zucchini, capsicum and white onion into small pieces. Finely dice pickled gherkins (this is completely optional and if you don’t like pickles, feel free to leave this out or on the side - but I loved it).
1 zucchini, 1 red capsicum, ½ white onion, 1 pickled gherkin
Scatter over corn, zucchini, capsicum, onion and pickles (opt.), and place back under the grill for 3 minutes.

Slice tofu into long fingers.
400 g firm tofu
Take the tray out of the grill and change the setting to oven bake, 200 C. Lay tofu fingers out on the tray and drizzle over some sweet chilli sauce (sub oyster sauce if your child doesn’t like chilli sauce). Add back into the oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile defrost edamame beans by placing them in a container and pouring over hot water, then draining. Slice avocado into quarters, then each quarter into quarters.
1 cup frozen edamame beans, 1 avocado
Mix together 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and oyster sauce until combined.

To serve kids, serve their avocado and beans separately to the rice and tofu.
To serve adults, scatter over edamame beans, avocado slices and crispy fried onions. Drizzle over sauce. Serve directly onto plates from the table.
