Instructions
-
1. Cook the long-grain white rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it out on a tray to cool and separate the grains.
-
2. Drain the tofu and place it between clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Place a weight, such as a heavy pan, on top to press out excess moisture for about 15-20 minutes. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
-
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
4. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
-
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
-
6. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
-
7. Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
8. Return the tofu to the skillet and add the cooled cooked rice. Stir to combine.
-
9. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
-
10. Pour the sauce mixture over the tofu and rice in the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until everything is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
-
11. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce or salt if needed.
-
12. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
