Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the carrots, bell pepper, and tofu into small pieces. Chop the green onions and set aside. If using frozen peas, rinse them under warm water to thaw slightly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced tofu and cook until golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    In the same skillet, add a little more sesame oil if needed. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the tofu.

  2. 4

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, bell pepper, and peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Add the grated ginger and stir for an additional minute.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine, ensuring the rice is heated through. Return the tofu and scrambled eggs to the skillet.

  4. 6

    Season the Rice

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetable Fried Rice!
