Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • To a medium pot add 1 cup (2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.

  • 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.

  • Add remaining soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to coat.
  • Transfer veggies to a plate and cover to keep warm.

4
Start tofu

  • Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff rice with fork. Add half the green onions. Stir to mix.
