- 200g bimi (asparagus broccoli), cut into diagonal pieces of 2 cm
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 2.5 cm fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
- 2 heads of lettuce
For the sushi rice balls (26 pieces):
- 500ml water
- 300g sushi rice
- 5 tbsp roasted white sesame seeds
- 5 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee spicy rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee pure sesame oil
- 1 tsp light brown caster sugar
- 1 large bunch of chives, finely chopped
Marinade:
- 200g Lee Kum Kee teriyaki sauce
Garnish:
- 50g pickled carrot
- 50g fresh red chili pepper
Preperation time: 25 minuten
- Slice the tempeh into 1-cm half-moon slices. Wash the broccolis and slice them on angle to 2½-cm pieces. Peel and grate the ginger. Finely slice the chives. Wash, deseed and julienne the chilli. Remove the stalks of the lettuce, separate the leaves and wash them.
- Put the tempeh and tender stem broccoli pieces in a large non-metallic bowl. Drizzle some Lee Kum Kee Teriyaki Sauce over them and toss to mix well with your hands. Set aside.
- Wash the sushi rice until the water runs clear and place it in a medium-sized pan. Add the filtered water and bring it to a simmer. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice. Add the sugar and Lee Kum Kee Seasoned Rice Vinegar and mix well to dissolve, then dress it over the rice. Fluff up the rice with a fork. Transfer it to a tray and leave it to cool. Dress the rice with the Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil to give it a nutty aroma.
- Once the rice is cooled, use your pre-wetted hands to shape the rice into nice oblong pieces. Dip each ball of rice into black sesame seeds, toasted white sesame seeds and some chives. Repeat until you have covered all the sushi balls.
- Heat a wok over high heat until it is smoking. Add the rapeseed oil and the ginger. Give the ginger a quick stir and then follow with the marinated tempeh and broccoli. Give that a good stir and keep stirring for 1-2 minutes before taking the wok off the heat.
- To serve, place a spoonful of the broccoli tempeh mix in a gem lettuce cup, the sushi rice ball on the side, and place broccoli on the side, then top with carrots and fresh chilli.
