Plant-based, oil-free simple fried rice 💚
Unlearning cooking habits is hard, but it's worth it. I now realize that starting by slashing oil is really front-loading the hard part and paving the way to real enjoyment of more whole foods.
It's not that I don't go off the beaten path a lot, like, I used toasted sesame flour in this instead of toasted sesame oil that I might have used for many years. But, my brain kept going to places like "ginger, fried rice definitely has ginger, and of course soy sauce, maybe dark, too. Also, what am I missing?" until I finally just said: full stop. Let's just do something simple. A warm, satisfying meal with minimal effort on this blustery day!
📌
Jasmine rice, leftover chilled
White onion, diced
Garlic, thick sliced
Frozen sliced mushrooms
Dry fry, don't disturb the rice for several minutes to allow the Maillard reaction to kick in.
A tablespoon of toasted sesame flour
Air fried broccoli
Montreal-style smoked tofu, in 1-cm pieces
Salt & black pepper to taste
Topped with minced scallions.
