Prepare the quick pickle: Use a vegetable peeler to slice carrots into ribbons. Place into a small bowl or glass jar. Place radishes in a separate bowl or glass jar.

In a small pot, bring water, vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt and sugar to a boil. Pour over carrots and radishes and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

3

Cook rice per package instructions.

4

Prepare the tofu crumble: In a large pan, heat sesame oil and ginger over medium heat and cook for 1 minute. Add crumbled tofu and warm through while stirring.

5

Pour in hoisin sauce, 15 mL (1 tbsp) lime juice, soy sauce, and basil. Stir well and add water. Cook until half of the water evaporates. Remove from heat.

6

Prepare the sriracha dressing: Mix sriracha, yogurt, and 5 mL (1 tsp) lime juice together.

7
