Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fried Rice

Bottled ponzu sauce, available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets, lends a light citrus note to this version of fried rice.

Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fried Rice

14 ounces firm tofu, cut in 1/2-inch cubes

1/3 cup ponzu sauce

1 16-ounce bag frozen “baby pea and vegetable blend”, or similar

4 teaspoons canola oil, divided

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

3 cups cooked rice

  1. Gently toss the tofu with the ponzu sauce and set aside. Toss occasionally as you prepare the rest of the dish.
  2. Cook the vegetables according to package directions, immediately rinsing them in cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high. Add the egg and cook, stirring briefly, until the egg is just cooked through (about 1 minute). Remove from pan and cut in thin strips.
  4. Add the remaining 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of oil to the skillet. Gently lift the tofu out of the ponzu sauce and place the tofu in a single layer in the pan. Reserve the ponzu sauce.
  5. Cook the tofu until well browned, then flip it over and cook again until well browned on the underside: this should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
  6. Add the rice, reserved ponzu sauce, soy sauce and rice vinegar to the skillet; stir thoroughly. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetables and cook 1 minute; add the egg ands tofu and cook until the dish is warmed thorough, about 1 more minute.

I make my living writing, teaching and speaking about food and travel. In the name of work, I (have to!) eat a lot, meet interesting people (many of whom, like me, are passionate about their work) and travel near and far to see where and how food is made, grown or raised. I am saved from a life of extreme obesity by the fact that I truly love to exercise, but I am always one forkful away from not being able to button my jeans. Mine is a sweet and savory life.

I share it with my husband and co-author, David Bonom. Check out our new book, Hero Dinners: Complete One-Pan Meals That Save the Day
