VEGAN RITJA-RITJA WITH VEGETABLES

 

(serves 4)

 

Ingredients:

 

1 block Tofu

1 medium-sized onion

1 clove of garlic

1 small can of tomato puree (70 gm)

small quantity sambal oelek (chilli paste) or chilli powder

1 small portion root ginger

1 red pepper (optional)

aromatic rice (e.g. Thai jasmine)

seasonal vegetables (we used green beans)

small quantity of bean sprouts

 

Method:

 

Finely chop the onion, garlic and root ginger and fry until brown in a

small amount of oil. Chop and add the red pepper (if used) and fry

until soft. Add the chilli and tomato puree, and stir for a while on a

low heat.

 

Wash a block of tofu, cut into slices and then fry lightly. Then cut

into dices and add to the mixture. Warm through again.

 

Cook the vegetables and when almost cooked add the bean sprouts and

cook again. The vegetables can be served separately or, as a summer

variant, added to the mixture. Serve with cooked rice.
