Egg Tofu Fried Rice. Flavourful, full of contrasting textures and the smoked tofu offers a delicious aroma and taste.  Perfect for dinner or lunch.

Fried rice is such a great recipe when time is of the essence!  It also serves well as leftovers for lunch or meal prep.

I love this egg and tofu fried rice because it’s simple, easy and delicious! It’s a great vegetarian meal for those who can’t consume meat but are able to eat egg.

It comes together very quickly, just 30 minutes if you pre-cook the rice the night before and let it sit in the fridge!

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for my tofu egg fried rice recipe:

• 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice made the night before
• 3 eggs whisked with 1 tsp of sesame oil + 1 tsp of light soy sauce
• 1 block smoked tofu diced
• 3 cups frozen peas and carrots rinsed under water
• 1 small cooking onion diced
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 4 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 3 tbsp light organic soy sauce
• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste

How to make Fried Rice

• Break up your cooked rice with your hands. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 tsp of sesame oil and 1 tsp of light soy sauce together. Set aside.
• In a large wok set on high heat, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Fry eggs until cooked and cut them into pieces using your spatula. Set aside.
• Next in the same wok, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil and fry tofu until edges are browned. Set aside.
• In the same wok, heat up the frozen peas and carrots. Set aside.
• In the same work, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil and fry onions and garlic until soft and translucent. Add in the last tablespoon of oil and add in rice. Pour in light and dark soy sauce followed by sesame oil and vegan butter. Fry until rice is no longer white.
• Add back into your wok the frozen peas and carrots, tofu, and egg. Mix until well combined but careful not to crush the rice.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Cooking Fried Rice

• Have all your ingredients ready to fry. The last thing you want to do is not be prepared, while your rice is burning in your hot wok. So have all your ingredients prepared so you can just toss them in as you fry your rice
• I like to pre-rinse my frozen peas and carrots.  This reduces the amount of cooking times as the water melts the frozen veggies and you’re not overcooking your rice
• Butter is so key to making fried rice taste so good! Trust me on this one
• Dark soy sauce really gives fried rice that rich dark brown colour without having to go overboard on the soy sauce making your rice too salty
