2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 ounces broccolini, trimmed, cut into 1-inch lengths, or 2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup chopped carrots
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups chilled cooked medium-grain white rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
1 8-ounce package teriyaki-seasoned baked tofu, cut into 1/4x1-inch pieces
