Steps:
- Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water.
- Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in heavy based pan until it's very hot. Add rice and fry gently for 1 minute. Add the pint of cold water, bring to the boil then turn down to lowest heat clamping lid on tightly. Do not open the lid for next ten minutes, so set your timer.
- While this is going on, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the onions. Then add the spices and tofu and keep stirring it. After the tofu has coloured a bit and gone squishy, add the rest of the veg and keep stirring.
- When the timer goes off, check the rice. It should look puckered with little holes. Stir it to check if there is any remaining water hiding underneath. If there is, keep it on the heat uncovered for 5 minutes to evaporate the water.
- Once there is no water, add the veg and tofu to the rice and stir. Add the soy sauce and taste. Add more chili, garlic or Chinese 5 spice, salt or pepper as per your liking, then eat it. I think this makes enough for 4 people, 3 very hungry people, or one husband.

- Add one tablespoon of the sesame oil, then add the ginger, smoked paprika, turmeric, and mashed tofu. Cook, stirring until the spices are well-incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add the remaining sesame oil and the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice sizzles and is thoroughly warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the corn, peas, and Tamari (or soy sauce) and cook until the veggies are warm, about one more minute.
- Taste and add additional Tamari or soy sauce if desired.
- Serve topped with chopped chives or other herbs of choice, chopped scallions, or even a little crumbled bacon for the carnivores' portions if you like. We like to pass the Sriracha with this fried rice, as well.

Tips:
- For a firmer tofu scramble, press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in a few layers of paper towels and placing it on a plate. Then, place another plate on top and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet. Let the tofu press for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the tofu scramble. This will help prevent the tofu from sticking and burning.
- Cook the tofu scramble over medium heat. This will help prevent the tofu from becoming too dry.
- Stir the tofu scramble frequently while cooking. This will help to evenly cook the tofu and prevent it from sticking together.
- Add your favorite vegetables and seasonings to the tofu scramble. Some popular additions include onions, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and garlic.
- Serve the tofu scramble with your favorite sides. Some popular options include toast, bagels, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Scrambled tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying tofu scramble at home.
