Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree     Side

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup extra-firm tofu* ((8 ounces yields ~1 cup))
1 cup long- or short-grain brown rice* ((rinsed thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer))
4 cloves garlic ((minced))
1 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup carrots ((finely diced))
3 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce ((plus more for veggies + to taste))
1 Tbsp peanut butter
2-3 Tbsp organic brown sugar, muscovado sugar, or maple syrup
1 clove garlic ((minced))
1-2 tsp chili garlic sauce ((more or less depending on preferred spice))
1 tsp toasted sesame oil ((optional // or sub peanut or avocado oil))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or lightly grease with non-stick spray).
  • In the meantime wrap tofu in a clean, absorbent towel and set something heavy on top (such as a cast iron skillet) to press out the liquid.
  • Once the oven is preheated, dice tofu into 1/4-inch cubes and arrange on baking sheet. Bake for 26-30 minutes. You're looking for golden brown edges and a texture that's firm to the touch. The longer it bakes, the firmer and crispier it will become, so if you're looking for softer tofu remove from the oven around the 26-28 minute mark. I prefer crispy tofu, so I bake mine the full 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • While the tofu bakes prepare your rice by bringing 12 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add rinsed rice and stir. Boil on high uncovered for 30 minutes, then strain for 10 seconds and return to pot removed from the heat. Cover with a lid and let steam for 10 minutes*.
  • While rice and tofu are cooking, prepare sauce by adding all ingredients to a medium-size mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more tamari or soy sauce for saltiness, peanut butter for creaminess, brown sugar for sweetness, or chili garlic sauce for heat.
  • Once the tofu is done baking, add directly to the sauce and marinate for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Heat a large metal or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, use a slotted spoon to scoop the tofu into the pan leaving most of the sauce behind. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown on all sides (see photo). Lower heat if browning too quickly. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To the still hot pan add garlic, green onion, peas and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, and season with 1 Tbsp (15 ml) tamari or soy sauce (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
  • Add cooked rice, tofu, and remaining sauce and stir. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Serve immediately with extra chili garlic sauce or sriracha for heat (optional). Crushed salted, roasted peanuts or cashews make a lovely additional garnish. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, though best when fresh. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.

VEGGIE FRIED RICE (VEGAN)



Veggie Fried Rice (Vegan) image

This fits the bill when I'm craving Chinese take-out minus the MSG. The TVP makes a great substitute for egg and boosts the protein content without adding cholesterol. This is inspired by a recipe I found here: http://ericglover.com/Vegetarian_Vegan_Fried_Rice_Recipe.html. Prep time is for cooking rice while chopping veggies. Serves about 4 as an entree or 6 as a side.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups cooked brown rice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
8 button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein (dry)
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 5 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon sage (fresh or dried)
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1 cup edamame (frozen, shelled) or 1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Be sure that the rice is cooked and the veggies are chopped before you begin.
  • Mix TVP, water, sage, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Set aside for at least 5 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil over medium heat in wok or very large skillet. Add garlic, onions, carrots, and celery. Sautee for a couple of minutes, then add mushrooms and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and cook a couple more minutes until onion starts to turn translucent. Do not cook the vegetables quite all the way at this point.
  • Stir in TVP, then move vegetables to the perimeter of the wok. Add rice to center of wok, then stir in remaining oil and soy sauce (1 tablespoon each). Add the remaining spices. Fry the rice, turning occasionally with a rubber spatula, taking care not to burn it or the veggies. You can add a little water if necessary.
  • Stir in edamame or peas. Turn off the heat and stir until the edamame is heated.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and will result in a better-textured fried rice.
  • Chop your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will steam instead of fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Add the soy sauce and other seasonings gradually: This will help you control the flavor of the fried rice.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Veggie fried rice is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of planning, you can easily make a delicious veggie fried rice at home.
