Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add tofu cubes and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until golden on the bottom side.

  3. Step 3

    Stir and cook another 3 minutes until edges are crispy and light brown on all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Push tofu to the side of the pan. Add 1 tbsp oil to the empty space, then add rice and vegetables.

  5. Step 5

    Break up clumps and stir constantly for 3 minutes until rice is heated through and vegetables are hot.

  6. Step 6

    Pour soy sauce and mirin over everything. Toss to coat evenly until the glaze coats the rice and tofu.

  7. Step 7

    Make two wells in the rice, crack an egg into each, and cover the pan for 2 minutes until whites set.

  8. Step 8

    Divide between bowls and top with scallions. Serve immediately while the yolk is still soft.
