Tofu Fried Rice
July 3rd 2008 01:28
This is a recipe I found and made from Dr Weils website. I have never been successful at making fried rice, I’ve always found my rice was either quite flavourless or too salty (too much soy sauce to combat the lack of flavour - hmm). Anyway, I found this was the perfect combination of ingredients to make a tasty, delicious dish and suitable for vegetarians too. The ginger and the sesame oil really add to the flavour. I did add some chopped carrot and celery and replaced the peas with green beans.
This fried rice is great for those with inflammation conditions such as rosacea as it calls for a tablespoon of grated ginger, an active anti-inflammatory food. It has also been known to help relieve osteoarthritis pain and swelling. When I’m in an extra healthy mood, I make this with brown rice, yum.
1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 small onion or 3 scallions chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated
12 ounces firm tofu, cut in cubes
4 cups cooked, cooled rice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh or frozen green peas
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon dark (roasted) sesame oil
1. In a wok or large skillet, heat the olive oil, and quickly sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger, stirring constantly with a large spoon.
2. Add the tofu and warm it through.
3. Add the rice, stirring and turning it to mix it with the other ingredients and warm it through. Add the soy sauce and mix well.
4. Add the peas, cilantro, and sesame oil, and mix well.
