Fried rice is an easy-to-make dish found in many Asian cuisines. I often cook fried rice when I have leftover rice from the day before, or when I’m short of time. What I love about fried rice is that it can be different every time as you can add any of your favourite ingredients to the dish. Whenever I cook rice, I never fail to use EVOO. Whether it is adding 2-3 tablespoons to the cooked rice or frying rice with EVOO, I love how the rice absorbs the flavor and fragrance of the oil, making it fluffier and tastier!
Ingredients
-
2 tbsp Timperio Gentile Extra virgin olive oil
Alternatively, you may use Timperio Nobile or Timperio Organic Bio/olio

100 g Cooked brown rice

1 qt Red onion
Alternatively, you may use white onion

1 qt Stalk of spring onions

70 g Tofu

1 qt Egg

1 tsp Timperio chili-pepper flavored extra virgin olive oil
Procedure
-
Start the preparation of your healthier fried rice by dicing the onion and the spring onions into fine pieces. Then, move on to the tofu, and dice it into 2 to 2.5 cm size pieces.
-
In a large pot or medium-sized wok, over medium heat, add Timperio EVOO and the sliced onions. Cook it until it gets softened, but before it turns brown.
-
Over medium heat, add tofu and fry it until it starts to turn golden (about 2 minutes). Stir occasionally.

Let the ingredients continue cooking, and push them in one side of pot. Crack the egg in, breaking up the yolk, and cook it for 1 to 1-5 min.
-
When egg is almost set, stir, and add rice in. Continue frying over high heat until all the ingredients are well mixed (about 5 minutes).
-
Add spring onions and seasoning. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and 1 teaspoon of Timperio chili-pepper flavored extra virgin olive oil to add a dash of healthy hear to your fried rice.
