Vegan easy tofu fried rice. Great and healthier asian weeknight meal. Perfect recipe to make with leftover rice.
Ingredients
For the Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 Tbsp honey (for vegan use agave)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 4 Tbsp coconut aminos (or lower sodium soy sauce)
For the Rice/Veg
  • 5 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup carrot, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 350 grams (1 pack) extra firm tofu, cut into bite sized cubes
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, spritz with oil and add the cubed tofu and saute until the tofu has dried out and is crispy.
  2. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the sauce.
  3. Once the tofu is done, add about ½ of the sauce and cook until the sauce reduces and forms a nice crust on the tofu. Remove from the skillet.
  4. To the same large skillet, spritz with oil, add the carrots, allow to cook until they start to soften. Then add in the green onions and peas.
  5. Once done, add in another spritz of oil, the cooked rice and the other half of the sauce and fold together until the rice, sauce and the veggies are all combined well. Allow the rice to cook (without flipping it) for a few minutes at a time so the rice can get crispy.
  6. Once the rice starts to crisp up in various spots, it should be almost done.
  7. Add the tofu back into the rice mixture and fold together until combined.
