Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Chicken 165° F |

  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, edamame, umami seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 11/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in white portions of green onions (prepared in a later step) and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Line a plate with a paper towel. Cut tofu into 1/2" dice and place on towel-lined plate. Top with more paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture.

    In a mixing bowl, combine tofu, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Gently toss until coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Line another plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let oil heat, 3 minutes.

    Add tofu to hot oil and stir occasionally until golden-brown, 6-8 minutes.

    Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct crispness.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to towel-lined plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While tofu cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Add Tofu

    Return pan used to cook tofu to medium heat.

    Add stir fry sauce, 2 Tbsp. water, and Sriracha (to taste) to hot pan. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, return tofu to pan. Stir often until coated.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5
