  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste

Method
 

Prepare Tofu

  2. Add the peas and bell pepper, and continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and tofu.
  2. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for another 5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through.
Serve
  1. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
