Fried Rice

If I haven't already mentioned, I am the worst at cooking for two people. For some reason I think I am feeding a small army when it comes to making dinner. This means leftovers, and sometimes LOTS of leftovers. I made my Butter Chik'n recipe the other night and had tons of rice left over. So, fried rice made an appearance tonight.

Fried rice is so easy when you already have the rice. Chop up some veggies, fry it up, and you're basically done. 

Ingredients
-1 tbsp coconut oil
-2 celery stalks, diced
-1 large carrot, diced
-1/2 a medium onion, diced
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-2 C pre-cooked rice
-1/2 package of firm tofu
-2 eggs
-soy sauce
-pepper


Directions
-Heat large skillet or wok pan over medium heat.
-Add coconut oil to skillet, along with celery, carrot and onion. Cook until vegetables are just starting to get tender.
-Add rice and garlic. Cook another five minutes. Make sure to stir continuously so the rice does not burn. 
-Add tofu. Egg can either be cooked in a separate pan or in the same pan as the rest of the ingredients. I sometimes will push the mixture to one side of the pan and crack the eggs onto the clean side and scramble. 
-Once eggs are fully cooked, make sure all ingredients are incorporated evenly. Add soy sauce and pepper to taste. For this amount, I used about 3 tbsp. 

ENJOY!! xo
