Tofu fried rice with veggies
I decided I wanted to try to make 1 meal a week vegetarian..so I figured I'd try my hand at tofu which is not my favorite but edible. This was surprisingly good but a little bland. I added a lot more soy sauce then I originally thought.
8 oz firm tofu (it could have used more) diced into cubes
2-3 cups chopped veggies, your favorites (I used snow peas, broccoli, carrots, onions-yes, I need an onion fix sometimes, the hubby just picks them out)
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp ginger (I use jarred for both of these)
conola oil
3 cups cooked rice (I cooked it earlier in the day in beef broth to add flavor. Then I put it in the fridge to cool and dry, this way the rice doesn't stick together, easier for frying)
2 eggs
2 tbsp soy sauce (or more)
pinches of red pepper flakes
1 tbsp hoisin sauce (I don't really like this sauce but it does add a little flavor)
Cook veggies in a little oil with garlic and ginger about 10 minutes. Remove and cook tofu about 10 minutes or until browned (not too long). Remove and add eggs, scrambling. Add everything together and mix slowly. You can add more seasonings to taste.
