Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 15 oz extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 knob of ginger, grated
- 2–3 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Toss the pressed and cubed tofu with olive oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the tofu bakes, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
- Heat a swish of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and frozen peas and carrots. Sauté until fragrant and the vegetables are heated through.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet along with soy sauce and Sriracha. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- Push the cauliflower mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Add sesame oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until cooked, then mix them into the cauliflower rice.
- Serve the cauliflower fried rice topped with the crispy baked tofu and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
- Ensure the tofu is well-pressed to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Customize the vegetable mix based on personal preference or availability.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of Sriracha or add red pepper flakes.
- This dish is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
