Hey Y’all, hope you had a fun, fabulous and a foodie Christmas !!! After all the cookies, pies, drinks, meat dishes last night and just before our foodie New Year’s party, I quickly wanted to squeeze in a Hearty yet delicious meal and this Quick Thai Tofu Fried Rice is a PERFECT choice!! I say that with so much conviction as I know the next few days we are still going to eat leftover Christmas delights but at the same time, I want my family to get their veggies fix too. I do have our regular POST Foodie Event ‘Mean Green Juice‘ but to be honest, it’s not going to fill their hungry tummy/souls 😉 So, my favorite solution to any hunger pangs that needs to include healthy ingredients is a light stir fry and this Quick Thai Tofu Fried Rice fits the bill.
As easy as it sounds, it’s equally easy to make and extremely flavorful. I would say it’s a great change from all the Festive sugary food we have been having past few days.
Ingredients for Thai Tofu Fried Rice
Tofu – I’m using extra firm tofu Mixed Fresh Vegetables – think carrots, broccoli, peas, zucchini, etc Rice – Jasmine rice works the BEST or you can use any rice/grain of choice Thai Spices – I’m using a store-bought Thai paste (easily available in Walmart too) Light Soy Sauce – you may use Tamari too
*** Since I wanted to keep it LIGHT & VEGETARIAN ***
I’m NOT using Fish Sauce or Oyster Sauce (as used in traditional Thai recipes).
Pro – Tip (Important)
Always use cooked cold rice for any Stir-Fry as it helps keeps the rice texture and breaks less. Once the ingredients are ready, you simply start by stir-frying the vegetables first. Then follow the rest of the instructions below to achieve a Restaurant Style – Quick Thai Tofu Fried Rice.
This makes for a perfect lunch/dinner or meal prep recipe too and you can keep them in the fridge for utpo 3 days. Remember to add some fresh chopped scallions and sesame seeds on top for that extra flavors 🙂
