Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1¾ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook the tofu
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut it crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to low, add the sweet tofu glaze, and turn to coat the tofu. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the tofu is cooking, start the salad.
3
Make the arugula-orange salad
- Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Cut the fruit lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices. Discard any seeds.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, toss together the arugula, orange, scallions, carrots, and sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Top the rice with the tofu and arugula-orange salad. Garnish with the black sesame seeds and serve.
