Tofu & Edamame Fried Rice

Serves 4

I could eat this all day long...and if you’re not a tofu fan, this is the time to become one.

Ingredients

• 1 pack Extra Firm Tofu
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 2 green onions, white & light green parts, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 cup frozen edamame beans
• 2 cups pre-cooked cold rice - fresh rice will make it mushy and gross, and you don't want that do you?
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame chili oil

Directions

1. Slice tofu horizontally into 2 pieces (so you now have 2 square blocks)
2. Place tofu blocks side by side on a triple layer of paper towels, with a triple layer on top
3. Place something heavy like a pot or pan on top and leave about 10 minutes to drain, then cut tofu into 1 inch cubes
4. Heat wok on high until almost smoking and add 1 tablespoon oil then tofu
5. Cook until browned evenly all around - about 5 minutes and remove
6. Add a little more oil and the garlic, ginger, green onions, red pepper and edamame
7. Cook, stirring often about 5 minutes until everything has softened
8. Add the rice, breaking it up with your fingers as it goes in
9. Add soy and sesame chili oil - mix well
10. Add tofu back in and mix gently so you don't bust up the tofu
11. Serve
