Latin-Style Fried Rice image

This is my modified healthier variation of a wonderful recipe from Daisy Martinez as seen in "Every Day with Rachael Ray" magazine. The chorizo is so flavorful that you only need 2 links to make the dish tasty. The tofu takes on the flavors of the chorizo nicely. **I usually drain the tofu the night before and leave it in the refrigerator wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to absorb the excess moisture. Don't omit the lemon juice at the very end...it brings all the flavors together!!

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1/2 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 links raw chorizo sausage (each approx 5 inches in length)
6 -8 ounces firm tofu, drained well, pat dry and cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour the egg substitute into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom, and let cook until set, about 2 minutes.

  • Remove chorizo from casing and break sausage into small pieces.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat and well coated with cooking spray, add the chorizo, tofu, onion and garlic and saute, until the onions are soft and chorizo is cooked.
