Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cooked Rice
  • 1 block Firm Tofu
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium Carrot
  • 1 cup Green Beans
  • 2 tablespoons Sambal Oelek
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the tofu by pressing it to remove excess water, then cut the 1 block Firm Tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned on most sides.
  3. 3Add the 1 medium Onion (chopped), 1 medium Bell Pepper (chopped), and 1 medium Carrot (sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds) to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, meaning they are slightly softened but still have a slight bite.
  4. 4Add the 1 cup Green Beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute more.
  5. 5In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons Sambal Oelek, 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1 teaspoon Sugar, and 1 tablespoon Lime Juice until well combined.
  6. 6Add the 4 cups Cooked Rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and well combined with the vegetables and tofu.
  7. 7Pour the prepared sambal sauce over the rice mixture in the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated and heated through. The sauce should thicken slightly.
  8. 8Serve the Vegan Sambal Fried Rice immediately.
