1

For the quick pickle, use a vegetable peeler to slice the carrots into ribbons. Place them into a small bowl or mason jar. Place the radishes in a separate bowl or mason jar.

2

In a small pot, bring water, vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt and sugar to a boil. Pour over the carrots and radishes and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

3

Cook the rice per package instructions.

4

In a large pan, add the sesame oil and ginger over medium heat and cook for 1 minute. Add the crumbled tofu and warm through while stirring.

5

Pour in the hoisin sauce, 15 mL (1 tbsp) lime juice, soy sauce, and basil. Stir well and add water. Cook until half of the water has evaporated. Remove from heat.

6

Mix the sriracha, yogurt, and 5 mL (1 tsp) lime juice together for the dressing.

7

Serve the tofu on rice. Top with the cucumber, bell peppers, cilantro, pickled carrots, pickled radishes, and dressing.
