Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat and fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining vegetable oil and sauté the chopped shallots, minced garlic, and sliced red chili until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add diced carrots and long beans to the pan and stir-fry for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the tomato paste and soy sauce to the vegetables, mixing well to coat everything evenly.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry everything together for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Toss in the fried tofu cubes, bean sprouts, and chopped spring onions. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Drizzle sesame oil over the fried rice and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Give everything a final stir.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
