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:
- Boil enough water to fill about half of a small pot.
- Cook about 1 cup jasmine rice in the pot.
- When the rice is about halfway done, add a couple tablespoons of rice vinegar.
- Saute all vegetables and tofu in a pan on medium heat.
- Add rice to the pan and continue to heat.
- Add teriyaki sauce to the pan and continue to heat and mix.
- 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.
- Share with a friend :)

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!
