Savory Indian fried rice makes an awesome dinner or side dish. Who needs take out?!
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Firm Tofu drained
- 1 tablespoon Canola Oil
- 2 Whole Cloves
- 1 Cinnamon Stick 1" long
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1/2 cup Onion diced
- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers diced
- 1 jalapeños Jalapeño deseeded and minced, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice day old
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into small cubes. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the cubes until lightly browned.
- Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside. Heat the oil in the pan over medium heat.
- Heat the cloves, cinnamon stick and cumin in the oil until it begins to brown slightly and become fragrant. Add the asafoetida.
- Stir in the garlic, onions, bell pepper and jalapeno (if you want spicy). Cook until the vegetables soften. Add the turmeric.
- Stir in the rice, breaking apart any clumps and making sure all the rice is coated with the seasonings.
- Salt to taste.
- Add the tofu and cook for another 2 minutes while stirring.
Notes
- I stir-fry my tofu first to get it crispy but use no oil. If you do not have a good non-stick pan you will need to use a little oil to prevent sticking.
