Spicy tomato & chilli rice

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
This 'free-from-everything' yet flavour-rich side dish proves that vegan food doesn't have to be boring. The combination of tomato purée and soy sauce creates a strong 'umami' (meaty taste) effect without meat, while the chilli paste (Sambal Oelek) gives it character.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the rice. Chop the vegetables (onion, garlic, peppers).

Tip: The smaller you cut the onion, the more it cooks down and thickens the sauce.
2 ✓

Sauté the onion in the oil. Add the garlic and peppers, fry lightly.

Tip: Thorough sautéing brings out the sweetness of the vegetables.
3 ✓

Stir in the tomato purée, pepper paste, and soy sauce. Fry for 1 minute.

Tip: 'Cooking out' deepens flavours and removes the raw acidity of the tomato.
4 ✓

Pour in the rice, stir to coat, then pour in the water. Salt (taste!), and pepper.

Tip: The rice grains get coated in the spicy oil.
5 ✓

Cover and cook on low heat for 15-18 minutes.

Tip: Do not stir, let it steam.
6 ✓

Turn off heat, rest for 5 minutes, then stir in the fresh herbs.

Tip: During resting, the rice 'matures'.

Recipe FAQ

It became too salty.
Both soy sauce and chilli paste are salty. Next time salt only at the end, after tasting!
The rice remained hard in the tomato liquid.
Acidic environments (tomato) slow down the softening of rice. In this case, it needs a little more time and water.
