Coconut Rice
Optional Topping
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Coconut Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and creamy.
Prepare the Tofu
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes. In a bowl, combine the Korean chili flakes, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss the tofu in the mixture until coated.
Fry the Wontons
In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil if needed. Fry the wonton wrappers until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Slaw and Dressing
Make the Papaya Slaw
In a large bowl, combine shredded papaya, carrot, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to combine.
Prepare the Carrot Miso Dressing
In a separate bowl, mix miso paste, grated carrot, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
