Easy

3 servings

25 minutes

Ingredients:

150 g wholegrain rice

50 ml soy sauce

2 tbsp mirin

1/2 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp honey

350 g firm tofu

Bunch spring onions, ends trimmed

2 tsp sunflower oil

1/2 tsp sesame seeds

1 red chilli, sliced

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 170°C/ 150°C fan/gas 3½ and put in a shallow 1.5 litre ovenproof dish (about 5cm deep) in to warm.

2. Melt the butter in a medium, deep non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, then add the shallots and fry for 5-8 minutes until translucent.

3. Stir in the rice, squash, sage and garlic so everything gets a good coating of butter. Fry for another minute.

4. Add the wine and bring the mixture up to a simmer, then bubble for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and bring back to a gentle simmer.

5. Pour the mixture into the warmed dish and bake, uncovered, in the oven for 45 minutes.

6. Stir in the cheese for the last 5 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with the remaining sage and extra cheese.
