Best Vegan Fried Rice Recipe With Tofu (High Protein)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

  (like jasmine rice)
• 1½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3-4 medium carrots (about 1.5 cups)

  (peeled and diced)
• 3 green onions

  (finely chopped, separated into white/pale green and green portions)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 ½ blocks extra firm tofu

  (drained)
• ½ teaspoon iodized salt
• dash turmeric

  (optional)
• 4 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• ½ tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

Instructions

• 1 Rinse rice in fine mesh strainer under cool water for about 30 seconds. Add rice
  and water a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering,
  cover and turn heat to low. Cook until all water is absorbed and rice is tender,
  about 15 minutes. Turn off heat, fluff with fork, and set aside.
• 2 Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add
  carrots, peas, the white and pale green parts of green onions, and garlic and
  stir to coat with oil. Cook for a couple minutes until the peas are thawed.
• 3 Add tofu to the pan and break it apart with a spatula into a scrambled egg
  texture. Add salt and a dash of turmeric (optional) to make the tofu a more
  yellow color. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all of
  the extra water has evaporated and the carrots are tender.
• 4 Turn off heat. Add the cooked rice to the pan. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame
  oil, and seasoned rice vinegar. Stir everything together and garnish with the
  green part of the green onions. Enjoy!
