Method
Cook the jasmine rice and spread it out on a tray to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Finely chop the garlic and mushrooms.
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, mushrooms, cooled rice, garlic, salt, sugar, white pepper and cornflour, and mix thoroughly until well combined and it holds together when pressed.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each into a sausage about 10cm long, pressing firmly so it holds its shape.
Cover and leave in a warm spot for 24 hours to develop a pleasant sour flavour, then chill until ready to cook.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and fry the sausages for 10 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and firm.
Rest for 2 minutes, then slice on the diagonal and serve.
