Veggie Tofu Fried Rice

Step 1

Pull apart and crumble the tofu. Place it in a large bowl.

Step 2

Measure spices & unfortified nutritional yeast into a bowl and combine. Then pour spice mixture onto the crumbled tofu and stir until coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 TBSP of the Earth Balance in a big sauté pan and sauté the onions and peppers over medium high heat for 2 -3 minutes. Then add the rest of the veggies (add them frozen if they are frozen, no need to thaw) and sauté for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir the veggies into a wreath shape. Place the remaining 1 TBSP Earth Balance in the middle and add the crumbled tofu & spice mixture to the middle. Stir and sauté everything together. Mash the veggies and tofu into the pan and let it sit for a minute to get nice seared bits, then stir, flip and repeat.

Step 5

When the veggies are soft & a little browned and the tofu looks yellowish & seared in spots, the Vegan Tofu Veggie Scramble is ready. Taste and add more salt, seasoned salt, and/or unfortified nutritional yeast if desired. Sauté until combined. Set aside until ready to pan-fry with sauce and rice.

Step 6

Combine all sauce ingredients and stir together with a fork.

Step 7

Take out either 1/4 or 1/2 of the sauce, rice, and scramble depending on how much you want to make. If you want to pan-fry all of it you will either need to do it in two batches or two pans.

Step 8

Pour the sauce in the pan and heat over medium-plus to medium-high heat. Once it sizzles add the rice, tossing it until rice is uniformly brown. Then add the veggie scramble and pan-fry, stirring and mashing occasionally. Let it sit for 1 minute in the pan to sear before flipping and stirring.

Step 9

Once hot and seared, the Veggie Tofu Fried Rice is ready to serve & enjoy. Top with sliced scallions and/or Thai basil if desired.
