Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, gochugaru, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Jasmine Rice

    In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice and coconut milk with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is fluffy.

  3. 3

    Fry the Wontons

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry wonton wrappers until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Slaw

    Shred the green papaya and carrot. Toss together with a pinch of salt and a splash of lime juice.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix miso paste and honey or maple syrup with a bit of water to thin it out. Adjust to taste.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Bowl

    In serving bowls, add a scoop of coconut jasmine rice, top with crispy tofu, green papaya slaw, fried wontons, and drizzle with chili crisp and carrot miso dressing.
