Best 6 Tofu And Rice Loaf Recipes

FRIED RICE WITH CRISPY TOFU

Steps:

• To make the tofu, cut a block of tofu into pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick, then cut those into four pieces each (so you have pieces approximately 1" x .5")
• Arrange the tofu pieces on top of a paper towel (or other clean towel), sprinkle with salt, and put another towel on top. Place something heavy (like a cast iron skillet) on top of it. Allow to sit for approximately 10 minutes so the the moisture is drawn out of the tofu.
• Place tofu in a medium sized bowl with cornstarch, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir/shake gently to coat the pieces of tofu in cornstarch.
• Coat the bottom of a heavy skillet (cast iron recommended) with olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat, and add tofu. Allow to sit for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and allow to brown on other side, and remove to a clean paper towel to drain. You will probably need to do two-three batches.
• To make the fried rice, in the same skillet as the tofu (or a wok), heat olive oil.
• Add garlic and ginger; saute for one minute or until fragrant.
• Crack eggs into skillet and stir to scramble, until just set.
• Add rice to skillet and stir to incorporate.
• Allow to sit undisturbed for a few minutes to brown. Using a thin metal spatula, flip rice over and allow to brown on other side.
• Add carrot, peas, corn, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and fried tofu.
• Stir to incorporate, and allow to continue heating for a few minutes until all ingredients are warm.
• Top with scallions and basil, as well as sriracha if desired.
