Tofu fried rice

The trick to making sure your fried rice is perfect is using day-old rice (see recipe tip). Only add the peas and sweetcorn at the last minute so they retain a bit of crunch – that way they contrast really nicely with the creamy tofu.

This recipe is part of a Budget vegan meal plan for one. In March 2023 this recipe was costed at an average of £1.44 when checking prices at three UK supermarkets. This recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.

Recipe Tips

If following the Budget vegan meal plan for one, you will have cooked rice leftover from the chilli no carne recipe. Alternatively, cook and cool 50g/1¾oz long grain rice (ideally a few hours in advance).

The rest of the tofu is used in the Courgette and sweetcorn fritter recipe.
