Ingredients

7 ounces (half of a 14-ounce block) extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1 medium clove garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (divided)
1 thumb-sized knob ginger (peeled and minced) (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups cooked brown rice (I like brown Basmati rice) (cold, day-old rice is best)
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup frozen peas
2-3 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
Chopped chives or other herbs
Chopped scallions
Sriracha sauce
Cooked and crumbled bacon
Diced avocado

Steps:

Set the tofu on a large cutting board and mash with a potato masher or fork until it's crumbled. Set aside.
Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
Add one tablespoon of the sesame oil, then add the ginger, smoked paprika, turmeric, and mashed tofu. Cook, stirring until the spices are well-incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the remaining sesame oil and the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice sizzles and is thoroughly warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the corn, peas, and Tamari (or soy sauce) and cook until the veggies are warm, about one more minute.
Taste and add additional Tamari or soy sauce if desired.
Serve topped with chopped chives or other herbs of choice, chopped scallions, or even a little crumbled bacon for the carnivores' portions if you like. We like to pass the Sriracha with this fried rice, as well.

This was a waste of time and ingredients. The recipe was unclear and the dish was bland and unappetizing.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The tofu was a bit too mushy and the rice was undercooked.

This was a great recipe! I'm new to cooking vegan, and this was a great way to start. The instructions were easy to follow and the dish turned out great.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! My husband and I both loved it. The tofu was perfectly scrambled and the rice was fluffy and flavorful.

This vegan fried rice was so delicious and easy to make! I used brown rice and added some extra vegetables, and it turned out perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
