Why trust us?

A great fried rice is a perfect meal when there’s not much in the fridge. This vegan tofu fried rice only needs some carrots, peas, edamame and spring onions (most of which keep for weeks or months in the fridge or freezer) plus some pantry staples. By using silken tofu in there too, we get that soft egg-like texture which is vegan-friendly and adds a boost of protein. Try this with quinoa instead of the rice if you prefer it.

Ingredients

2 Persons

1 tbsp

Coconut oil
1 large

carrot, diced or grated
150 g

vegan ‘chicken’-style pieces (or firm tofu, cut into cubes)
75 g

frozen peas
75 g

edamame beans
150 g

broccoli, finely chopped or blitzed in a food processor until finely chopped
1 tsp

200 g

silken tofu
200 g

cooked brown rice
1 tsp

soy sauce (or tamari, if gluten-free)
1 tsp

sesame oil
4

spring onions, thinly sliced

Preparation

1

Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the carrots and broccoli, stirring occasionally over a high heat until slightly softened – around 5 minutes. Add the frozen chicken-style pieces and cook according to the time on the packet. Add the frozen peas and edamame, stirring until defrosted. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
2

Add the chilli oil to the frying pan back on the heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir over a medium heat for 1 minute to remove the rawness. Add the silken tofu and break up with your mixing spoon. Add the rice, soy sauce and sesame oil then mix well to combine everything. Stir in the vegetables from earlier. Remove from the heat, garnish with the spring onions and serve.
