Instructions

Make the Scrambled Tofu:

  • Heat the water in a large pan and crumble the tofu into the pan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the water is absorbed and it starts to brown slightly, about 10 minutes. 
  • Add the seasonings and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.

For the Fried Rice:

  • In a large wok or saute pan, add the carrots, broccoli and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until softened. 
  • Now add the rice, green onions, peas, scrambled tofu and sauce. Stirring frequently, cook over medium heat for 5-10 more minutes, until warmed through.
  • Serve immediately. This also makes great leftovers.
