Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it gently between paper towels to eliminate excess moisture. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-size cubes and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, pour in a tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the cubed tofu to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
Once crispy, stir in your mixed vegetables and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
Introduce the day-old cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps and stirring gently for 2 minutes.
Pour soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Give your fried rice one last thorough mix to ensure every ingredient is harmoniously combined and serve.
