Instructions
If Making Tofu:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove tofu from packaging, wrap in paper towels, and place on a plate. Set a heavy object on top and let sit for at least 10-15 minutes.
Remove tofu from paper towels and cut into small squares.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
To Make Fried Rice:
Wisk together liquid aminos, agave, and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.
Rinse brown rice in a mesh strainer for 1 minute.
Bring 1 cup water to a rolling boil and add rice. Let simmer for 40 minutes or until rice is cooked through.
Once the rice is fully cooked, fluff with a fork, place lid on the pot, and remove from burner.
Heat skillet on medium-high heat and melt coconut oil.
Add vegetables and cook until tender (about 10 mins).
Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add cooked rice and sauce mixture, stir until combined.
Top with green onions before serving.
