Ingredients
  

Crispy Tofu
  • 15 oz / 425 g extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cauliflower Fried Rice
  • 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • swish of olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 knob of ginger, grated
  • 2-3 cups frozen peas and carrots (or really any vegetables you want)
  • a little bit of soy sauce
  • a little bit of Sriracha
  • swish of sesame oil
  • 3 beaten eggs
Topping
  • green onions for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Toss the tofu with olive oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Arrange the tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake the tofu for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.
  3. Process the cauliflower florets in batches until they reach a rice-like texture.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, peas, and carrots, and cook until sizzling and fragrant.
  2. Add the cauliflower rice, soy sauce, and Sriracha to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until the cauliflower begins to soften.
  3. Create a space in the center of the pan. Add sesame oil and the beaten eggs, then gently scramble the eggs in the center until cooked.
  4. Stir the scrambled eggs into the cauliflower fried rice mixture.
Serving
  1. Serve the cauliflower fried rice topped with green onions and additional Sriracha if desired.

Notes

Cook the eggs in the center of the pan before mixing them into the cauliflower mixture. This helps create distinct scrambled egg pieces throughout the fried rice.
