Fried rice is a recipe that makes one wholesome meal. I love making it for myself tossing up a mix of the all the goodness from vegetables and tofu. Once you have chopped all the vegetables you wanna add, it’s quite a breeze. Let me share what I made recently.

All you need is:

• 1 cup cooked rice
• ½ pound green beans
• 1 carrot
• 1 green pepper
• ½ pack firm tofu
• 1 red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• Soy sauce
• Black pepper

1. Begin by chopping the carrot, green beans, green pepper, onion, garlic and tofu.
2. Simultaneously, set the rice to cook in 3 cups of water, as usual. You can use brown or white rice.
3. When you are finished with the chopping, take a wok or skillet and add a tablespoon of oil.
4. Now add the chopped garlic, onions, carrots, green beans and give it a light stir.
5. After a few minutes add green peppers. Take the cooked rice and add to the vegetables.
6. Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle black pepper.
7. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.

Your Tofu Fried Rice with vegetables is ready to serve.
