The way you'll usually get it in a restaurant is fried in some oil. You certainly could put it in raw, but I would only do that if you're going to crumble it up and just sort of mix it in. Normally I would fry it on all sides so it's a bit crispy on the inside. You can marinate it first - tofu will soak up a lot of anything, and so it's great to marinate, in whatever sort of flavorings will go well with your fried rice. If you want to avoid the oil you could bake it, or simply sear it in the pan before mixing it in. But you definitely want to prep it before you throw it in the rice, like you would meat.
It also can depend on the type of tofu. Is it flavored? Is it firm or soft?
