Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Bell pepper (red) - 1 medium, diced
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Broccoli - 100 grams, cut into florets
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
3. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add the tofu cubes and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
5. In the same pan, add diced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
6. Return the tofu to the pan with the vegetables, add chopped green onions, and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
7. Fluff the cooked rice and divide it into two serving bowls. Top with the tofu and vegetable stir-fry, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy Cơm Chay Đậu Hũ!
