Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, peel, then slice half the onion (use whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch slices.
- Trim snap peas.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add half the sesame oil, then onions to the same pan (used in step 3). Cook, stirring often, until softened, 1-2 min.
- Add snap peas and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil and remaining sesame oil to the pan, then tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return veggies to pan.
- Add carrots, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, tahini sauce, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-3 min.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the sesame seeds.
- Divide rice between bowls.
- Top with tofu stir-fry.
- Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil and remaining sesame oil to the pan, then tofu. Cook tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the chicken, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
