Leave the tofu to drain for 30 minutes and then cut it into bite-sized cubes.

In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, white pepper and five-spice seasonings.

Add the tofu cubes to the dry mix and toss to coat each piece.

Place one tablespoon of peanut oil into a hot wok or large deep skillet and once it starts to smoke add the tofu cubes and fry on each side till golden and crispy.

Remove from the heat and set aside till ready to add to the rice.

Place a wok or large deep skillet, add peanut oil, and heat on high until smoking.

Sauté the ginger, onion, garlic, bell peppers, celery, and mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the rice and cook for 5 minutes, tossing and mixing with the vegetables.

Add the tofu and cook for 3 minutes, tossing and mixing the rice and vegetables.

Mix in the sesame oil and soy sauce and cook for three more minutes until the rice turns brown from the soy sauce.

Remove from the heat and serve in serving bowls with some green onion on top and enjoy.
