First, cook your rice. Add the rice, water, spices, and salt into a pot and mix, then cook according to package directions. You will need different amounts of water depending on the rice you use.
To make the tofu beef crumble, add your pressed tofu into a bowl and add all the ingredients on top. Mix well, then transfer to a baking tray and bake at 400f for 25-30 minutes until golden, tossing halfway through.
To make the garlic sauce, blend together all of the ingredients until smooth.
Serve with rice, tofu beef, garlic sauce, and hot sauce. You could also serve it with a side fattoush salad!
