12-MINUTE SCRAMBLED TOFU VEGAN FRIED RICE

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.
