It doesn’t take too long until I am craving something Indo-Chinese. When you don’t have easy access to restaurants and takeaways serving this type of food, the best you can do is cook it at home (and probably healthier versions of it too). I’ve tried burnt garlic recipes previously but never in rice – so it was time to get back into the kitchen and give it a go! I decided on adding some crunchy tofu to the recipe to complement the mixed vegetables.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR BURNT GARLIC AND TOFU FRIED RICE
Pre cooked basmati rice that has been left to cool baked tofu – marinated in oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. a mixture of vegetables – we have used carrots and green beans a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar and a pinch of sugar plenty of spring onion a bulb of garlic
HOW TO MAKE BURNT GARLIC AND TOFU FRIED RICE
Soak the rice early and cook then leave to cool. Prepare the other ingredients. First, you need to heat sesame oil in a wok and wait until it smoking. Add the chopped garlic and fry until it has turned brown. Add the chopped carrots and saute for a few minutes and then add the green beans and the spring onion whites. Once these have softened, you can add soy/vinegar/sugar mixture and the prepped tofu. Then add the pre cooked rice. Sprinkle with more spring onion. Then season to taste.
