Chef's Tip

Preparing citrus without any membrane attached (a technique called supreming) gives fruit segments a delightfully smooth texture. Slice off both ends of the citrus and stand the fruit upright. Remove a section of the peel, pith, and membrane by cutting downward along the outer edge of the flesh, following the curve of the fruit. Repeat until the inner fruit is exposed. Holding the fruit over a bowl and using a paring knife, cut into the flesh along both sides of each membrane and release the segments into the bowl.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1¾ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Pickle the dandelion greens

  • Remove any coarse stems from the dandelion greens; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine the dandelion greens and quick-pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

3

Prep and cook the tofu

  • Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut it crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to low, add the char siu base, and stir to coat the tofu. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. While the tofu is cooking, start the salad.

4

Make the orange salad

  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Cut the fruit crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices or see Chef’s Tip on supreming. Discard any seeds. 
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.

In a medium bowl, combine the orange, scallions, and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled greens from the brine. Top the rice with the tofu, greens, and orange salad. Garnish with the black sesame seeds and serve.
