Ingredients

4 servings

3 cups cooked long-grain white rice, day-old and cold
3 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp sugar
2 tbsp neutral oil, divided
7 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into small cubes
Chef's tip
Choose a firm or extra-firm block-style tofu - not silken or soft - and press and cook it the same way.
3 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced small
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed from frozen
1 cup red bell pepper, diced small

For serving

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Can be omitted
sesame seeds
2 scallion greens, thinly sliced (optional)
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the neutral oil in a large wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are golden and crisp. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden on the second side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
