Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked jasmine rice; 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste); 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn); 2 green onions, chopped; Salt and pepper to taste; Sesame seeds for garnish; Kimchi (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang to create a flavorful sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan, and cook until the tofu is golden brown on all sides, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps and stirring well to combine with the tofu and vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the rice mixture, and toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season the fried rice with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Divide the Korean Fried Rice With Tofu among plates and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with kimchi if desired.
