Vegetarian Fried Rice

Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 15 min Total time: 25 min

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups rice (I've heard that leftover rice is best, but I've only ever used fresh rice)
2. 1 yellow onion
3. 1 head asparagus
4. 1 cup frozen peas
5. 1 block of tofu (if desired)
6. 3 eggs
7. 1/2 cup soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Cook rice in rice cooker.
2. While the rice cooks, wash your asparagus, then chop into 2 inch pieces.
3. Chop onion into bite sized pieces.
4. Heat a large pan on the stove with a tablespoon of oil. When hot, add on the asparagus and onion.
5. Cook the veggies for 5-7 minutes. Then add in frozen peas and let the peas heat through (about 1 minute).
6. Remove veggies from heat.
7. Scramble the eggs into a bowl, then add into the pan over low heat. Stir slowly but constantly until the eggs are cooked through.
8. Remove eggs from heat.
9. Remove excess water from tofu, then cut into bite sized cubes. Add into pan on medium heat. Add more oil if needed. Pan fry until the the tofu gets a little crispy.
10. Remove tofu from the heat.
11. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Then add in seasonings (salt, pepper, ginger, etc.). Finally, add into 1/2 cup soy sauce (can add more or less if desired).
