Method
Cooking the Rice
- 1
Prepare the Purple Jasmine Rice
Rinse the purple jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Sauté the Seasonal Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Cook the Tofu
In the same skillet, push the vegetables to one side and add cubed tofu. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is golden brown and heated through.
