Recipe: Fried Rice with Tofu

One of my favourite things to make for dinner is fried rice.  It uses up the veggies in my fridge that are on their last legs, keeps day old rice interesting, and is full of protein.

Ingredients:

Assorted Vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, broccoli, peppers etc)
Day old rice
Soy sauce
1/2 Cup tofu, cubed.
1 egg, scrambled
Sesame oil


Method:
  1. Fry your tofu in sesame oil until browned.  Flip, and let brown again. Remove from pan to a bowl.
  2. Scramble egg, then set aside with tofu.
  3. Crumble leftover rice into pan, using chopsticks to break clumps apart. Drizzle with sesame oil
  4. Add vegetables to rice according to cook time.  
  5. Add soya sauce to taste
  6. Reintroduce tofu and egg.  Stir until heated through.
Enjoy! This super easy meal is quick to prepare, and mighty satisfying.  Plus, it can be very easily modified to be vegan; just omit the egg!

    1. This is totally some epic comfort food for me, and seeing as how I wish I hadn't gotten out of bed this morning, I am right with you there, haha!! Oh well, I'll have to settle for the home made soup I am about to dig into. It's a hard life.

  3. This looks completely delicious. I wish that I could get proper tofu around here, the only stuff I can get is silken and we all know that's only really good for desserts.

    1. Only silken tofu? That's so strange! All i can get around here is extra (EXTRA) firm! and the veggie ground round, if I'm lucky. Small towns are the worst for grocery shopping!
