Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Grain

  • 4 oz leftover, cold red rice (or your favorite rice)

Protein

  • 4 oz organic silken tofu

Extras

  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • quick spray of oil, or a little bit of toasted sesame oil
  • a sprinkle of Furikake (a japenese seasoning). Alternatively, just cut some nori into strips.

Instructions
 

  • First, heat your sauté pan and spray it with a touch of oil. I typically use cast iron, but a regular pan works just as fine. Just be sure to add a little bit of water along the way so the food doesn’t stick.
  • Next, throw in the scallions and a pinch of salt, and sauce for about a minute. Add in the garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Add in the rice, a tiny bit of water so it doesn’t stick, and stir for about 2 minutes until heated through.
  • Lastly, add in the silken tofu, stir to mix (as little or as much as you want), cover and let heat through about 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve with furikake on the top.

Notes

For those measuring, this breakfast consists of grain & protein. For me personally, I don’t really count the extras. Feel free to add fruit to complete a healthy breakfast.
