Step 1
To make the rice, cook rice according to the directions on the package. Set aside to cool and dry out.
Step 2
Put the tofu, corn, scallions, carrot, basil, and salt in the bowl and mix well.
Step 3
When the rice has fully cooled, add it to the bowl with the tofu and mix well.
Step 4
Put the skillet over medium high heat and when it is hot, add the oil.
Step 5
Add the rice and tofu mixture; reduce heat to low and press down the rice mixture with a spatula. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Press down again to help form a crust. Flip portions of the rice so that you get chunks of crispy rice. Cook until crispy, up to 20 minutes.
