Cooking Steps
- Add rice, and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to boiling water, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- While rice cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, peppers and peas. Cook, stirring often until lightly charred, 3-4 min.
- Add carrots. Cook, stirring often until veggies are tender-crisp. 1-2 min.
- Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic puree, tomato sauce base, stock powder, soy sauce, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/3 (1/2 cup) water. Stir to mix.
- Add veggies. Cook, stirring often, until sauce has thickened slightly and veggies are soft, 2-3 min.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter and swirl pan, until melted.
- Crack in eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pan-fry, covered, until egg whites are set, 2-3 min.** (NOTE: Yolks will still be runny! Also, if preferred, pan-fry eggs using 1/2 tbsp oil instead of butter.)
- Fluff rice with fork, then stir in half the crispy shallots.
- Divide rice between bowls. Top with tofu and veggie mixture.
- Top with fried eggs.
- Sprinkle remaining crispy shallots overtop.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
