Instructions
- Add oil, garlic, and peppers to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is browned. Add stock, mirin, and soy sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Whisk in sugar, continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes or until sauce begins to slightly thicken. In a small bowl whisk together corn starch and first water before slowly whisking the mixture into the sauce, then allow to simmer for 1-2 min or until desired thickness.
- In a stockpot add second water and rice, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook 40-45 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and hold hot.
- Lightly coat tofu and avocado in cornstarch. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear off each side of the avocado and tofu until crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Coat the Tofu and avocado in warm mapo tofu sauce.
- To serve, layer brown rice, avocado and tofu mixture, and finish with green onion and ground peppercorns.
