Ingredients:

• 1 14 oz block of tofu
• 3 cups day old long-grain rice
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped (about 1/2 large onion)
• 1/2 cup carrot, chopped (about 1 large)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tbsp oil (olive oil or a neutral oil)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 large cloves of garlic, minced

Directions:

1. Drain the tofu for ten minutes using a book or tofu press.
2. While the tofu is draining, prepare the onion, carrot, garlic, and ginger.

Stir and it should look crispy on the other side. After stirring, let cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Take it out of the pan onto a plate to cook the vegetables.

7. Add the tofu, rice, soy sauce, and pepper and stir.
