Step 1

Cut tofu in half along the long side. Sandwich tofu between clean towels or paper towels and place on a baking sheet pan. Place a cutting board with something heavy on top and set aside to press out excess water.

Step 2

Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add water and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Cook rice until liquid is fully absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Step 5

Cut off skin from pineapple; quarter, core, and medium dice. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

While the skillet heats up, medium dice tofu, then sprinkle with cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

Step 8

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add tofu and cook, turning every few minutes, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Meanwhile, trim and slice green onion and celery crosswise into ¼-inch pieces; add both to the bowl with the pineapple.

Step 10

Peel, trim, and slice carrots crosswise into ¼-inch thick rounds; add to the bowl.

Step 11

Peel and mince ginger and garlic; add both to the bowl.

Step 12

When the tofu is done, return the skillet to medium-high heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add pineapple, veggies, and edamame; stir-fry until veggies are fork-tender, 4-5 minutes.

Step 13

Meanwhile, shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves.

Step 14

When the veggies are done, add cooked rice, tofu, and soy sauce to the skillet; continue to cook, stirring constantly, until combined and heated through, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat, add cilantro, and stir to combine.

Step 15

To serve, divide fried rice between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
