Recipe #49 Tofu Fried Rice with Vegetables [vegan]

Shopping list (4 portions)

• 1 medium onion
• 1 mug of basmati rice
• 1 carrot
• a big slice of white cabbage
• 125gr mushrooms
• 1 block of tofu
• broccoli (150gr)
• teriyaki sauce
• soy sauce
• sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• peanuts
• Salt, Pepper & cayenne pepper

Method:

I cheated on this recipe, I used ready made Amoy sauce (teriyaki and sesame) but you can easily mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and some ground peanuts, ginger paste and lemon zeist.

To start I cooked the mug of basmati rice in 2 mugs of boiling water with salt. Covered and turned off the heat.

I drained the tofu block (i bought firm tofu) with some kitchen towels and weight on top. Diced and placed on a oven proof tray. Seasoned with salt and pepper and baked for 25 min on 200 oC.

Sliced the carrots and mushrooms and chopped the cabbage and onion.

In a wok I heated some sesame oil and soy sauce (2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce). I placed the vegetables in and let them cook for some minutes, and seasoned with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Then added the tofu for another 1-2 minutes and added then the rice.

Sprinkle with soy sauce and add the teriyaki mix. Stir and mix well to get all the flavors in. Serve with peanuts.
