Chinese Cashew Fried Rice Recipe

This vegetarian and vegan fried rice recipe uses tofu instead of eggs for a traditional Chinese food fried rice dish. The tofu has a very similar appearance and texture, so you won't miss the eggs at all. This egg-free and vegan fried rice recipe with cashews will taste just as good as the vegetable fried rice recipes you can order at Chinese restaurants!

Ingredients:

• 1 container soft (silken) tofu, mashed
• 1/8 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp vegetablle oil
• 5 cups pre-cooked rice
• 1/2 cup chopped cashews
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 6 green onions, chopped

Preparation:

Mix the tofu, turmeric, onion powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.

In a medium skilled over medium heat, heat one tablespoon of the oil. Add the tofu mixture and cook, stirring constantly for 10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the heat and set aside.

Combine the soy sauce, sugar and green onions in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the sugar and set aside.

Place a dry wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When the wok begins to smoke, add the remaining oil, then the onions and rice.

Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir-fry until rice is heated through, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the cashews and the tofu and serve hot.
