  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/ gas 7. Whizz the sriracha chilli sauce, stem ginger, muscovado sugar, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup and tamari soy sauce in a miniblender until smooth. Set aside.

  3. Remove the casserole from the heat, push the mushrooms to one side, then arrange the sliced cabbage beside them. Put the tofu in the centre, pour over the sauce, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Cook a the sticky rice according to the pack instructions. Add to the casserole with a handful of chopped radishes, the cucumber, spring onions, sesame seeds, a squeeze of lemon juice and a few tbsp kimchi (see Know-how), making a space for each item. Serve in the casserole.

  1. Kimchi is spiced fermented cabbage – unpasteurised has the best flavour. Check that it’s vegan if you need it to be.
