Chinese Fried Rice with Tofu

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked Rice (day-old)
• 1 block Firm Tofu
• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 cup Carrot
• 1/2 cup Peas
• 1/2 cup Corn
• 2 tablespoons Scallions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon White Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Press the 1 block Firm Tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the cubed tofu and fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. 3Add the 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil to the same skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 2 cloves minced Garlic and 1 teaspoon minced Ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
4. 4Add the 1/2 cup diced Carrot, 1/2 cup Peas, and 1/2 cup Corn to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
5. 5Add the 4 cups Cooked Rice (day-old) to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir to combine with the vegetables.
6. 6Pour the 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce over the rice and vegetables. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the soy sauce.
7. 7Add the fried tofu back into the skillet along with the 2 tablespoons chopped Scallions. Stir everything together to combine well.
8. 8Season the fried rice with the 1/4 teaspoon White Pepper. Stir one last time and serve immediately.
