Ingredients
- 1 c jasmine rice
- 3 scallions
- 14 oz tofu (or whatever size your container is)
- 3 -4 stalks bok choy (or more if you want)
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 2 -3 carrots diced
- 1/4 c peas
- 1 tbsp Vegetarian oyster sauce blend
- 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
Cook the rice.
Rinse the rice. In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the rice is slightly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
Start the Tofu
Cut tofu into 1/4 inch pieces
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove from the heat but leave pan warm for cooking the rice later
Prepare Ingredients (while the rice & tofu cooks)
Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for garnish.
Small chop your onion and carrot
Trim the root ends from the bok choy; cut the bok choy in half lengthwise, chop the white parts to the same size as your onion and carrot. Slice the green part into 1/8in - 1/4 strips.
Cook the fried rice.
Add the onion, carrot, and white parts of the scallions and white parts of the bok choy, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bok choy and rice and cook until the bok choy starts to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and and stir in the peas, tofu, oyster sauce blend, and sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If your pan is large enough to mix everything in the pan you can use that to mix.
Serve. Transfer the fried rice to individual bowls, garnish with the green parts of the scallions, and serve.
