Instructions

Prepare rice and transfer to a bowl and allow it to stand uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
Prepare all fruit and vegetables as directed above.
In a large skillet coated with 1 tbsp of oil, cook the cubed tofu over medium high heat. Stir frequently to ensure even browning.
Once lightly brown on all sides (approx. 5-7 minutes), add the soy sauce and liquid smoke to the pan. Stir the tofu until the liquid is gone. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and add 1 tbsp of oil. Sauté the broccoli over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Next, add the green beans and red pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger to pan and stir to combine.
Then, add the rice to the vegetable mixture and stir to incorporate. Cook, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes to warm the rice.
Next add the soy sauce, mirin, and chili sauce. Stir to thoroughly incorporate.
Finally, add the pineapple and cooked tofu to the rice and turn off the heat. Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
Plate the rice and garnish with the chopped green onion, cilantro, avocado, pepitas, and peanuts if using. Enjoy!
