Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Thoroughly rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Preparing Vegetables and Tofu

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add the bell peppers, carrots, and green peas, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until tender.

  2. 4

    Add Tofu

    Gently fold in the cubed tofu into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tofu is heated through.

Seasoning and Combining

  1. 5

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 7

    Combine with Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the vegetable and tofu mixture, stirring gently until everything is well mixed and heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the BU Light in bowls or plates, garnished with additional sesame oil or green onions if desired.
