Steps

Start by cooking your rice and chopping your spring onions into small rounds.
Next, whisk the gram flour, water, turmeric, black salt and bicarbonate of soda together to make a pancake-like batter.
Crumble in the tofu and mix to fully incorporate.
When the rice is cooked, heat the sesame oil in the frying pan on a high heat. While this is heating, break up the rice to ensure it doesn't clump together.
Add the tofu mixture to the hot oil and stir continuously to form a scramble-like consistency, before adding in the rice, soy sauce and spring onions.
Stir until fully combined, season to taste and enjoy immediately.
