Add oil and cubed tofu to a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook tofu on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, add the watermelon marinade ingredients to a mason jar and shake well to combine. Add watermelon to a small mixing bowl and pour just 3 tablespoons of the marinade over top. Toss gently to coat watermelon in the marinade and set aside.
Add the rest of the marinade to the pan with the tofu and cook until it thickens and coats tofu. Turn off the heat and set aside.
To assemble your bowls, divide rice between 4 bowls and evenly divide the rest of your toppings between each bowl.
