Method

Blend all the ingredients for peanut sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust the spice, salt and sweet flavours, and keep aside. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add onions and a pinch of salt. Toss and cook for two to three minutes. Add garlic, carrots and bell pepper, and toss well for two more minutes. Add tofu and cabbage, toss well and cook for a couple of minutes further. Add the peanut sauce and mix well. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for two to three minutes or until the sauce starts to bubble. Add in the cooked rice and salt, mixing well. Taste and adjust salt and spice. Add red pepper flakes to taste. If the rice feels too dry, sprinkle in some milk and mix well. Cover and cook for a minute. Let the rice sit covered for another few minutes. Add a good dash of lemon juice. Garnish with coriander and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
