This delicious vegetarian rice bowl is a multifaceted mix of spicy, sweet, salty, and sour flavors. Crumbling the tofu instead of cubing it provides more nooks and crannies for the sauce to soak into. A side of thinly sliced red cabbage adds some crunch to the soft tofu and tender rice.

- 1 (15 oz) block firm tofu
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small jalapeño, stemmed and finely chopped
