  4. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooled jasmine rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Toss in the sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper. Stir together for an additional minute.
  7. Serve the Tofu Fried Rice in bowls, optionally garnishing with sesame seeds.
