Vegan Egg and Fried Rice

The ingredients you’ll need:

• COOKED WHITE RICE: This recipe is the ULTIMATE leftover rice dish! I used some spare rice I had in the fridge. Of course if you don’t have leftover fridge rice haha you can easily just whip up some for the recipe 
• TOFU: I used extra firm as this has the ‘meatiest’ texture. To tear it, simply drain the liquid by slicing and using a paper towel to absorb most of the liquid then get your hands in there! Tear the tofu slices into little chunks. In the final dish the texture mimics scrambled egg so perfectly! 
• CARROT: Cos you can’t have fried rice without carrot!!! I peeled and diced fresh carrot but you can absolutely use frozen if preferred 
• CORN KERNELS: The sweet pop that really makes the flavors sing! I believe sweet with savory is the ultimate umami. I used canned corn kernels
• PEAS: Fried rice has to have peas right!!! Haha they just make the dish even if we don’t know why. I used frozen peas, thawed for this dish 
• TURMERIC: This adds so much flavor. Turmeric has the most amazing anti-inflammatory properties so it’s good for the bod too! 
• CUMMIN: Such a powerhouse flavor used a lot in Indian and Spanish cuisine. It’s distinctive flavor is so perfect 
• CHILI POWDER: Cos we need a kickkkk. Of Course if you aren’t spicy inclined you can halve the amount or omit entirely 
• COCONUT SUGAR: Adds the most perfect caramel notes and balances the spice amazingly. Coconut sugar is a great natural source of sweetness 
• VEGAN SOUR CREAM: Here’s our ‘egg white’  I used vegan. Of Course if you’re not vegan you can use regular. But there are some great options out there! Simply spoon a 1-2 tbs in the middle of your serving and spread outward to mimic an egg white 
• ORANGE BELL PEPPER: Here’s our yolk!!! I simply cut a circle out of an orange bell pepper and it worked phenomenally!!! Just pop it in the middle of the sour cream egg white! So fun!
