For a vegan version, substitute the mozzarella cheese with your favorite vegan cheese alternative. Feel free to add other vegetables to the tofu mixture, such as diced zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. If you don't have brown rice on hand, white rice or quinoa can be used as a substitute. Adjust cooking time accordingly. To add a touch of heat, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the tofu mixture.
