Fried Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced carrot and cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Then add the green peas and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the pan with the vegetables, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the cooked tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the fried rice to serving plates. Top each serving with a soft poached egg and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
