TOFU FRIED RICE (FROM COOKING LIGHT)

Tofu Fried Rice (from Cooking Light) image

A superfast and healthy recipe, one of the greatest hits from the Sept 2004 issue of Cooking Light. The flavors are very mild and the dish is a good way to add some tofu to your diet. I've also made this with lean boneless pork or chicken. I think instant rice is an abomination so I take a little extra time to make the real thing.
