Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the tofu cubes out. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Bake a few more minutes if you like the tofu firmer and chewier. Allow tofu to cool. If you have leftover tofu filling, freeze it and use it another time.

Add 2 1/2 cups of water if using the stove top method. Allow the rice to soak for 20 minutes. Turn on the rice cooker and when the cooker indicates the rice is done, lift the lid and fluff up the rice with a paddle. If using a pot on the stove, bring the water to a boil and reduce to simmer.
