Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and braise over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the bell pepper and scallions, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the sesame oil and soy-lime glaze for a final minute.

Cook the jasmine rice separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the tofu simmer for about 9 minutes so the flavors meld.

Fold in the avocado just before serving.

Serve hot over the jasmine rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
