This vegetarian fried rice is delicious and packed with protein; a nutrient that many vegetarians have trouble incorporating into their diets.

Protein-Packed Vegetarian Fried Rice

olive oil

½ (12 ounce) package firm tofu, cubed

carrots,

celery,

minced

garlic,

salt and black pepper

white rice

eggs, beaten

(8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed

sriracha hot sauce,

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables are just soft; 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


Stir rice, egg, and spinach into the tofu mixture until egg is no longer runny, about 5 minutes. Stir in sriracha; season with salt and pepper.


Not protein-packed if you only use 1/2 package of tofu for 6 servings! Brown the cubed tofu in sesame oil to add flavor before starting veggies. Add or substitute multi-color bell peppers for celery. Put the whole onion, diced. And please try bright fresh greens instead of frozen; a whole bunch will cook down quickly to 8 oz. Be sure to offer sriracha and soy sauce on the table for guests who can handle extra sodium.

Tasty dish... my only substitute was fresh spinach instead of frozen. I needed lots of S&P and more Sriracha for my taste. Having leftovers today for lunch. I would recommend using the entire package of tofu... wasnt very much. I cooked the tofu first separately to get some color to it and to avoid having it fall apart

I didn't find this to have much flavor. I had to add a lot more Sriracha. It could use a lot more spices perhaps in the curry family.

Pretty good and surprisingly hearty! A bit on the bland size be prepared to improvise with the selection of spices.

i think it was too much rice. there was no flavor at all.

Thanks for the recipe! Just a note that not everyone considers egg vegetarian friendly.

I didn't have carrots.   I'm also vegan so I didn't use eggs.    I stir fried (in canola oil & sesame seed oil)  celery, mushroom, onion, jalapeno, tofu, brown rice, cilantro, 1 cup of fresh pico de gallo with curry, ginger, & seasoned salt.   I used an entire package of xtra firm tofu.    Excellent.
