This fried rice with tofu and veggies 🍛 is not only bloody tasty but also packed with proteins, antioxidants, and lots of precious micronutrients. You truly have to give it a try!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Prepared brown rice
- 2 Eggs
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- ¼ cup Sesame oil
- 2 cups Frozen vegetables a pea, carrot, green bean blend is fine, or a stir fry blend
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari, or to taste (not to much to watch sodium intake!)
- 1 package Extra firm tofu or other lean protein of choice, drained and cut into cubes
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp White pepper
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil -evenly distributed in a pan- over medium-high heat
- Add the tofu. Brown on one side, and do not flip it until it is easy to flip. Use a metal spatula, as it sticks easily to the pan.
- Once flipped, brown one of the other sides. You can keep browning all the sides, but it takes a while and you might need more oil!
- I then simmer the tofu for a couple of minutes with 1-2 tbsp soy sauce, to give it some flavor.
- Remove the tofu and set it aside.
- Heat a wok (preferably) with 2 tbsp oil, over medium-high.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Evenly distribute the rice in the pan. Brown the rice for several minutes.
- Add the remaining soy sauce, white pepper, and ginger. Mix well to combine.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the pan, and mix them occasionally until they are slightly soft.
- Meanwhile, scramble eggs in a small bowl. Once the rice is browned, move everything over to one side of the pan and add the eggs.
- Cook the eggs halfway, and then begin to break them up with a spatula. Mix them with the veggies.
- Once the eggs are well cooked, serve the fried rice with the tofu. Enjoy!
