Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the cubed tofu, carrots, celery, and onion to the skillet. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. (1 minute)

04

Step

Push the vegetables and tofu to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and cook, scrambling them until they are set but still slightly moist, about 2 to 3 minutes. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Add the cooked rice and thawed spinach to the skillet. Break up the rice with a spatula and stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed and heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the Sriracha hot sauce and season with additional sea salt and pepper to taste. (1 minute)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For best results, use day-old cooked rice, as it tends to be drier and fries up better.
Pressing the tofu removes excess water, allowing it to crisp up nicely in the skillet.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred level of spice. You can also add a dash of soy sauce for extra flavor.
Feel free to customize this recipe with other vegetables such as peas, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added visual appeal and flavor.
