Method
Step 1

To make the pesto, place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined to your preferred texture. You may need to scrape down any mixture that rises up the sides.

Step 2

To make the rice and vegetables, cook the rice according to the package instructions.

Step 3

Warm a frying pan over medium heat and add the oil and garlic. Fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the tofu. Fry on both sides for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan.

Step 4

Place the mushrooms, broccolini, sprouts, and 2 tbsp of water in the same pan. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from the heat, then add the tofu back in and stir in the pesto to warm.

Step 6

Plate the warm rice and top with the tofu and vegetables.
