Tofu Fried Rice

Tofu fried rice is a quick lunch recipe; it is dry & easy to carry. If you don’t have any idea about what to cook, this will helpful to manage the day without any hectic job. Now I can see more brightness in all your face. Of course, it takes to prepare less time compare to chicken fried rice.

Today I don’t have any vegetables except carrot & beans. So I thought an idea to prepare this simple & healthy fried rice.

I have added minimal spices and it is actually quite nutritious. This goes well with raita, papad & ketch up…
