Ingredients:
Rice (white or brown)
Mild Mambo Sauce (found in your grocery store)
Broccoli (I usually use frozen broccoli)
For the soya chunks:
2 cups soya chunks
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon garlic salt
For the Masala sauce:
1 medium red onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
¾ cup water
½ cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon chili powder
Optional garnish: Green onions, juice of a lime
Instructions
- Start cooking your rice however you choose.
- Soak soya chunks in hot water for around 10 minutes to rehydrate them. (you can boil them for 2 minutes to save time)
-
Once your chunks have softened, drain and rinse with cold water. Using your hands or a tofu press, squeeze out excess moisture.
-
Place rehydrated chunks into a bowl and add in chili powder, garam masala and salt. Toss until everything is well incorporated. Set aside.½ teaspoon chili powder,½ teaspoon garam masala,½ teaspoon garlic powder,½ teaspoon salt
- Water sauté your diced onion and garlic
-
Now, add in rest of the ingredients needed for masala. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer, covered for about 10 minutes.¾ cup water,½ cup tomato sauce (also called puree),1 teaspoon coriander powder,¾ teaspoon garam masala,½ teaspoon chili powder
- Start cooking your broccoli. If using frozen broccoli, you can just reheat it in the microwave.
- Optional: once sauce is cooked down, take the soya chucks and air fry for 10 mins at 400 degrees. This will give it more of a meat type of texture. (like chicken). If you don't have an air fryer, you could also try the oven. But if short of time you can definitely skip this step.
- Add the soya chunks to a bowl of rice with a side of broccoli then drizzle Mambo sauce on top of everything. It's so yummy!
- optional: Garnish with green onions and the juice of a lime.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
