Vegetarian Taiwanese Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked Rice
• 1 block Firm Tofu
• 1 Carrot
• 1/2 cup Peas
• 1/2 cup Corn
• 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 2 Green Onions
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 block of firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the tofu cubes on a plate lined with paper towels, cover with more paper towels, and gently press down to remove excess water.
2. 2Peel and dice the 1 carrot into 1/4-inch pieces. Mince the 2 cloves of garlic. Chop the 2 green onions, keeping the white parts separate from the green parts.
3. 3Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or a large pan (at least 12 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat, aiming for about 400°F (200°C). Add the prepared tofu cubes and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides.
4. 4Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and the 1 diced carrot to the wok with the tofu. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the carrot pieces are slightly softened.
5. 5Add the 1/2 cup of peas and the 1/2 cup of corn to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until the peas and corn are heated through.
6. 6Add the 4 cups of cooked rice to the wok. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the rice is heated through.
7. 7Pour the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir well to combine everything evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is fully heated and coated.
8. 8Stir in the chopped green parts of the 2 green onions. Serve the fried rice immediately.
