Mix & match

This recipe is almost completely hands off and requires very little prep; all you have to do is rinse rice, crush garlic, julienne ginger and chop spring onions. Both the rice cake and the tomatoes bake in the oven at the same time and don’t need to be stirred or basted, leaving you to get on with other things. Leftover rice cake slices are great pan-fried the next day, in a little oil, until crispy. This dish is vegan as it is, but I love it with crispy fried eggs, too.
