Trim green onions, then thinly slice;

Coarsely chop pineapple;

1 Cook Rice

In a small saucepan, combine rice, measured water & a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, cook until rice is tender & water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Keep covered for 5 minutes, then spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.

2Cook Tofu & Veggies

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over high. Add crumbled tofu, season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring once, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add green beans, season with salt & pepper, cook until crisp-tender, 3–4 minutes.

3Add Aromatics & Rice

Reduce skillet heat to medium-high. Stir in pineapple, garlic/ginger blend, ¾ of green onions. Cook until pineapple is warm, about 3 minutes. Add cooled rice & 1/2 stir-fry sauce mixture. Cook, tossing, until ingredients are combined, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

4 Finish & Serve

Stir cilantro into fried rice. Divide into bowls, serve with kimchi on top, garnished with peanuts, drizzle remaining sauce & sprinkle remaining green onions. Enjoy!
