Preheat your broiler to high (to broil the tofu). In Step 6, use this heat guide to determine what spice level you prefer: 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium, 1/2 tsp spicy and 1 tsp extra-spicy!

Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant, 1 min. Add 1 1/3 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 12-14 min.
