Vegan Fried Rice With Tofu

Easy to make and a classic recipe all year round.

Recipe Summary Vegan Fried Rice With Tofu

Basically, I used tofu instead of eggs, and the meat-eaters thought it was beef! Note that I prepare the dish with a wok. A regular frying pan might require longer cooking time. I cook until everything looks done, so I don't always pay attention to the time. Experimenting is half the fun of stir-fry!

Ingredients | Vegan Rice Recipes Main Dish

1 (16 ounce) package soft tofu, frozen until firm

1 cup vegan Worcestershire sauce

½ cup soy sauce, divided, or to taste

1 tablespoon oil, or as needed

¼ cup chopped green onions

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 yellow onion, diced

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

3 cups cooked white rice, or more to taste

1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese rice wine) (Optional)

1 teaspoon sesame oil (Optional)

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained

Directions

Thaw tofu until it comes to room temperature, about 2 hours. Squeeze between paper towels to drain thoroughly and transfer to a bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, then enough soy sauce to cover. Let marinate, at least 1 hour.

Drain tofu, discarding marinade.

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking, about 30 seconds. Add oil; heat until shimmering, about 20 seconds. Add green onions and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add tofu; stir-fry until scrambled and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook yellow onion in the wok until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add frozen vegetables; saute until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in rice, mirin, sesame oil, and enough soy sauce to cover the rice. Season with salt and pepper. Add bean sprouts; cook and stir until rice is hot, 1 to 2 minutes.

Substitute canola or peanut oil for the vegetable oil if preferred.

Use leftover vegetables instead of frozen if preferred.
