Creating this incredible Tofu Fried Rice is simple! Follow these steps for a delightful dish:

1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool. Cold rice works best for fried rice.
2. Prepare the Tofu: Dice the firm tofu into small cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Sauté Tofu: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything together gently, allowing the flavors to meld, for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Green Onions: Toss in the sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir for an additional minute to heat through.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

After these straightforward steps, you’ll have a delicious Tofu Fried Rice that’s ready to enjoy!
