Heat 4 tablespoons of water in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Smash 12 oz of firm tofu and add it to the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until it resembles scrambled eggs and moisture is out.

Set the cooked tofu aside in a bowl and rinse out the pan.

Add more water to the pan and heat it back up on medium-high heat.

Add minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, and the white and light green parts of green onions, sautéing for a couple of minutes.

Add frozen peas and carrots to the pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

Add 2.5 cups of cold brown rice to the pan, ensuring it is leftover rice to avoid mushiness.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of liquid aminos and 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, mixing to coat the rice.

Add the dark green part of the green onion and optional cilantro, stirring to combine everything.

Add the cooked tofu back into the pan and mix all ingredients together, then turn off the flame.

Plate the fried rice and top with sesame seeds before serving.
