- Add cooked rice, tomatoes, and previously cooked tofu and mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes until well combined with the aromatics.

Notes
- 🧀 Tofu Press: Gently press the extra firm tofu before cooking to eliminate excess moisture. This aids flavor absorption and texture improvement for stir-frying. No need for hours; just remove some water.
- 🧀
- 🔥 Sizzling Start: Heat your wok or skillet until it's piping hot before adding the oil. This simple step prevents sticking and guarantees a speedy, uniform cooking experience.
- 🔥
- ⏩ Swift Finish: When stir-frying after adding the sauce, keep it quick and fiery. Ensure all ingredients merge seamlessly, distributing the sauce evenly. Prolonged cooking risks sogginess or slight sugar caramelization.
