Tofu Fried Rice Ingredients

14 1/8 oz (400 grams) Firm tofu

3 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce

2 cups Cabbage, shredded

1 cup Carrots, diced

1 medium Onion, diced

4 cups Cooked rice

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.

Make the Chili Glaze

In a bowl, mix tamari soy sauce and chili paste. Toss the tofu cubes in this mixture and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Cook the Tofu

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and fry until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then add the cabbage and carrots, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add Rice and Eggs

Add the cooked rice to the vegetables in the pan. Push the rice to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs, then mix everything together.

Combine Everything

Add the crispy tofu back to the pan and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serve

Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
