Vegetarian Tofu Fried Rice

Hello and welcome vegetable and tofu fans! 

Today's recipe was a bit of improv cooking by me and my lovely Mew Sigma Sister and future Clifton Hall apartment-mate, Emmy <3 

The Recipe: 
  • Rice
  • Rice vinegar
  • Tofu
  • Broccoli
  • Peas
  • Carrots
  • Red Onions
  • Vegetable Oil
The Process:
  1. Boil enough water to fill about half of a small pot. 
  2. Cook about 1 cup jasmine rice in the pot. 
  3. When the rice is about halfway done, add a couple tablespoons of rice vinegar. 
  4. Saute all vegetables and tofu in a pan on medium heat. 
  5. Add rice to the pan and continue to heat. 
  6. Add teriyaki sauce to the pan and continue to heat and mix. 
  7. After about 5 minutes from the time the rice was added to the pan, it should be done. Be sure everything is cooked to desired amounts. 
  8. Share with a friend :)

This means Emmy and I each ate 284 calories for a very filling and healthy dinner! 

What went right: 
         It was quite delicious and light, but also satisfying. 

What went wrong: 
         I'm relatively certain actual fried rice also has garlic in the recipe and steams the peas and carrots. Something to work on for authenticity's sake! 

What I would do next time: 
          Try using different meats, garlic, and cook the vegetables differently. 

Would I do this again in college?: 
          Definitely. I'm a little addicted to asian food, and have tried this again a few times since and it turned out equally great and better :) 

Overall, a great meal with a short cook time, perfect for college life!
