For the rice
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the rice and cook it for 10-12 minutes until soft. Drain.
For the dressing
Meanwhile, while the rice is cooking whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar and garlic in a small bowl and leave aside.
For the tofu
Cut the tofu block into 2 long rectangles and then again horizontally to make 1cm thick squares. Add the flour to a small bowl and add lots and lots of pepper and a little salt. Cover the tofu squares in the flour mix and set them aside until you’re ready to cook.
Heat come oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, the oil should be about 1cm deep. Cook tofu, in 2 batches, for 1 minute each side or until crisp and golden, then drain on paper towel.
For the salad
In a salad bowl place the spring onion, long red chilli, carrot, and the mixed salad. Add the rice and toss well to combine.
To serve
