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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

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