Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 7 oz tofu
  • 7 oz tempeh
  • 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 7 oz tofu and 7 oz tempeh into bite-sized cubes. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry them until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and the 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce, stirring constantly until the rice is evenly coated and hot, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty side and scramble them until just set, about 1 minute. Mix the eggs into the rice.

  4. 4

    Serve the fried rice with the crispy tofu and tempeh, plus sliced cucumber and tomato on the side. Add sambal or chili paste if you like heat.
