Arahan
- 1
Heat sesame oil in a non-stick wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic, onion, and lemongrass. Stir-fry until fragrant and onions are translucent.
3 minutes
Do not let the garlic brown; it should remain golden for a sweeter aroma.
- 2
Add diced carrot, French beans, and red capsicum. Continue stir-frying until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
4 minutes
Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
- 3
Gently toss in cubed tofu and pandan leaf. Stir-fry until tofu is lightly golden on all sides.
4 minutes
Pat tofu dry before cooking to enhance browning.
- 4
Push vegetables and tofu to the side of the wok. Add cooked brown rice to the center and break up any clumps with a spatula.
2 minutes
Use day-old rice for the best texture; fresh rice can turn mushy.
