    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cover the rice in a saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

    Bake the tofu cubes for 15 minutes on the prepared baking sheet. Cook for 10 minutes more after flipping with a spatula. Place aside.

    Make the sauce while the tofu is baking: In a saucepan, combine tahini, tamari, 12 cup water, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and sriracha. Stir well and heat until hot and creamy.

    Toss in the prepared tofu and serve immediately over rice. If desired, garnish with thyme.
