Instructions

For Tofu

  • 1

    Start by applying avocado oil to the tofu and adding corn starch. This will make tofu crispy.

  • 2

    Next, season tofu with all the spices and let it rest for a couple of mins.

  • 3

    Start the oven by pre-heating to a temperature of 400 degrees. Add the tofu and let it bake for 12 mins.

  • 4

    Keep checking in between and adjust time accordingly. Tofu must come out brown-ish in color and crispy.

For fried rice

  • 1

    Heat avocado oil in a non-stick pan and add minced ginger and garlic.

  • 2

    Saute ginger and garlic for 3-4 mins or until it starts to release aroma.

  • 3

    Next, add veggies of your choice. I used a bag of frozen mix veggies which has peas, beans, cauliflower, broccoli etc. You can use fresh veggies of your choice also.

  • 4

    Saute the veggies for 3-4 mins then add cooked rice in it. Make sure the heat is on high since fried rice best comes out when made on high heat.

  • 5

    Then add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and vinegar and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 mins and that’s it.

  • 6

    Serve hot with a side of tofu as protein to complete this healthy balanced meal.
