1
Coat Tofu: In a medium bowl, toss the cubed extra-firm tofu with cornstarch, shredded coconut, kosher salt, and black pepper until the cubes are evenly coated.
2
Crisp Tofu: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the coated tofu for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3
Sauté Fruit & Veggies: In the same skillet, add the diced pineapple and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until caramelized and lightly charred. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
4
Heat Rice: Stir the TASTY BITE®/MD Indian Fried Rice directly into the skillet with the pineapple and pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Gently fold the crispy tofu back into the rice mixture.
5
Whisk Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice until smooth.
6
Assemble & Garnish: Transfer the warm fried rice to serving bowls. Top with the crispy tofu, charred pineapple, chopped roasted cashews, and sliced green onion, then drizzle with the cilantro yogurt sauce before serving.
