- 2 tsp ginger minced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
Make the tofu porq:
- Mix together all marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat. Marinade for an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Sear the tofu, flipping often, for about 7 minutes, until nicely browned on most sides, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Turn off heat while you begin the fried rice.
Make the rice:
- Preheat a large wok over medium-high heat. Sear mango in one tablespoon of oil. Sear for about 4 to 5 minutes to caramelize a on a few sides. Transfer to the pan with the tofu.
- In another tablespoon of oil, saute the onion, scallion and star anise with a pinch of salt, for 3 minutes, just to sear slightly. Add the garlic and ginger and saute for about a minute.
- Add the last tablespoon of oil and the rice and fry for about 5 minutes, using a thin metal spatula to flip and toss, making sure it doesn’t stick to the pan. Use spray oil to help keep things from sticking.
- In a mug, use a fork to mix together sriracha, tomato paste, tamari, lime juice and agave until the tomato paste is relatively smooth.
- Drizzle the liquid mix into the rice, tossing to coat. Cook for 3 more minutes.
- Add the pork and mango and toss. Taste for salt and seasoning. Remove star anise pods. Serve!
