Ingredients

• 14 ounces Extra-firm tofu
• 4 cups Cauliflower rice
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup Green peas
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a weight, such as a heavy pan, on top to press out excess moisture. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into small cubes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until they are just set, then mix them with the vegetables.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower rice, green peas, cooked tofu, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir everything well to combine.

Step 8

Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice, and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss gently to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
