A North Italian classic, like Nosiola, is perfect here. Its nuttiness and moderate acidity go well with tofu and peanuts.
Step 1
Add rice to saucepan. Cover with 1.5 parts of water, add salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce to low heat, cover and allow to cook for approx. 10 – 15 min. until fluffy and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
