Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz cubed pressed tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp canola oil. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 medium diced carrot and 1/2 cup frozen peas, cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. Step 4: Push vegetables to the side of the pan and pour in 2 lightly beaten eggs. Scramble eggs gently until just set, then mix with vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 cups riced cauliflower and 3 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  6. Step 6: Return golden tofu to the pan along with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Serve immediately.
