Taiwanese Fried Rice with Pineapple

Instructions

1. 1Place the about 225 g of extra-firm tofu on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Press down firmly to remove as much water as possible. Once pressed, crumble or dice the tofu into small pieces, about 1.27 cm in size.
2. 2Place a wok or large pan on the stove over medium-high heat (175°C). Add the 1 tbsp of sesame oil.
3. 3Once the sesame oil is shimmering, add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and the crumbled or diced tofu. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned and smells fragrant.
4. 4Add the 1/2 cup of carrot and the 1/2 cup of peas to the pan. Continue to sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
5. 5Add the 4 cups of cooked rice and the 1 cup of pineapple to the pan. Stir-fry everything together for 5 to 7 minutes, until the rice and pineapple are heated through and well combined.
6. 6Pour the 3 tbsp of soy sauce over the rice mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated and the soy sauce is fully incorporated.
7. 7Chop the 2 stalks of green onions. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the fried rice just before serving.
