Fried rice is a great Chinese dish that can either be served as a side or a main course, but unfortunately for vegans it traditionally contains eggs – tofu to the rescue! – Firm tofu basically has the same look and texture as scrambled eggs, so it makes the perfect egg replacer in this dish. Another problem with traditional fried rice is that it’s not exactly healthy because it’s usually made with white rice and refined vegetable oil. We created this healthy version by using brown rice instead of white, and substituting vegetable oil with a small amount of unrefined coconut oil.
