1
Place the short grain rice in a sauté pan and rinse 2–3 times to remove excess starch. Add 2 tsp chili oil and 2 tsp umami powder, stir to combine. Pour in 1 cup water and heat over medium-high heat. Once the water begins to bubble, give the rice a gentle stir, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
2
Pat dry the block of extra firm tofu with paper towels. Crumble it into a small bowl using your hands or a fork. Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp chili oil, then carefully place in the crumbled tofu. Sauté for 4–6 minutes until slightly crispy. Add 3 tsp umami powder and mix, then stir in 2 tsp dark soy sauce and sauté for another minute. Set the tofu aside.
3
Dice the onion, roughly chop the broccolini, and dice the king oyster mushrooms. Heat the non-stick pan to medium-high heat, then add 2 tsp avocado oil.
4
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat under the rice and allow it to steam for another 10 minutes.
5
Sauté the onions for a couple of minutes to soften them. Add the broccolini and sauté for a few minutes. Add the king oyster mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Add back the crumbled tofu and sauté for a couple of minutes more.
6
When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork or rice paddle. Finely chop the green onions. Add the green onions and sautéed vegetables to the rice; the heat will gently wilt the green onions. Mix everything together and serve generously.
