TOFU FRIED RICE


This has to be the easiest and most versatile meal you can make! All in all it must have taken me about 15 mins to make.

Serves 4/5

Ingredients:

- 4 cups of brown rice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1inch cube of ginger, grated
- 6 spring onions, chopped diagonally
- 1tsp turmeric
- 1 block firm organic tofu
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen sweetcorn
- 3tbsp soy sauce
- Sesame/olive oil to fry
- Soy sauce for serving

Instructions:

1. While the rice is boiling away, fry 2 cloves of garlic, a 1inch cube of ginger in a wok or large pan.
2. Next chop the block of tofu into little squares and fry them in the same pan as the garlic and ginger.
3. Add a tsp of turmeric to give the tofu a yellow look (I prefer this to pale tofu, plus turmeric is so incredibly good for you!).
4. In a separate pan fry the spring onions and any other veg you'd like to add.
5. Once the rice is done, pour it all into the same pan/wok and begin to stir fry.
6. Add the cup of frozen peas and sweetcorn.
7. Next pour in 2tbsp soy sauce.
8. Add 1/2-1tsp of basil and chives at the end.


I love that the combination possibilities for this are endless, next time I want to try adding mushrooms and mange tout just like my old favourite Wagamama's dish, Yasai Cha Han.
