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.
