Preparation
For Rice:
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized pot, add the rinsed rice and water.
Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Let the rice cook for 18-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered,
Cooking Steps
In a non-stick pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cubed tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
In the same pan, add chopped red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until veggies are tender but still have a crunch. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine cooked white rice, cooked tofu, and cooked veggies.
Pour the dressing over the rice and vegetable mixture and toss well to coat.
Divide the rice bowl into serving bowls and sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl.
Serve hot.
