12-MINUTE SCRAMBLED TOFU VEGAN FRIED RICE

• 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.
