Wash 1 cup jasmine rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Pour 2 cups vegetable stock over the washed rice and bring to a boil.

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, cooking for 12 minutes.

While the rice cooks, chop 1 onion and heat a pan until hot.

Add the chopped onion to the hot pan and sauté until it turns pale gold and soft.

Chop 1 savoy cabbage into shreds and add it to the pan with the onion.

Sauté the cabbage until it wilts down, softening but still retaining some texture.

Crush 3 cloves of garlic into the pan and mix well with the onion and cabbage.

After 12 minutes, turn off the heat on the rice and let it rest with the lid on.

Add 1 teaspoon five spice, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons light soy sauce to the cabbage mixture, stirring to combine.

Add salt to taste to soften the cabbage further.

Crumble 1 block of silken tofu into the pan, squeezing it through fingers to incorporate it into the mixture.

Heat the tofu until it is hot, stirring gently to combine without breaking it up too much.

Add the cooked rice to the pan and gently mix everything together using a spaghetti spoon.

Turn off the heat and prepare to plate the dish.

Plate the tofu fried rice and add extra cabbage on top if desired.

Drizzle sriracha over the dish before serving.
