Start cooking:

cut tofu into small cubes and add marinade; refrigerate until ready to cook.

add rice ingredients to instant pot and stir. Place lid on instant pot and pressure cook for 10 minutes. Let steam release naturally for an additional 10 minutes before removing lid.

while the rice is cooking, mix sauce ingredients together. add sauce to the cooked rice, along with the vegetables. Stir to combine. Keep instant pot on “warm” setting while you make the tofu.

add a small amount of oil to large pan and sauté tofu for 8-10 minutes, until browned.

add tofu to the rice and stir.

Enjoy as is, or add some avocado slices and vegan yum-yum sauce (recipe coming shortly)!

eat happy!
