Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Extra firm tofu
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 cup Peas
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu, wrap it in paper towels, and place something heavy on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into small cubes.
Mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onions (separating the white and green parts), dice the red bell pepper, and julienne the carrot.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper, carrot, and peas to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions. Serve hot.
