Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. This helps the rice become fluffy.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring 400 ml of water to a boil, then add a pinch of salt and the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the water is absorbed.
3
While the rice is cooking, dice the onion and garlic, then slice the scallions into thin rings.
4
Crumble the tofu in a bowl to create a small, chunky texture. If desired, gently press out any excess moisture.
5
Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
6
Add the crumbled tofu and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
7
Crack the eggs onto one side of the skillet and scramble them, stirring constantly. Once set, mix them with the tofu.
8
Add the cooked rice and drizzle with soy sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
9
Garnish with fresh scallions before serving to add freshness and a slight crunch.
