Ingredients

Fried Rice

2 cups cooked and cooled rice , I use either short grain or medium grain rice (leftover rice is best!)
2 tbsp vegan butter
1/2 medium onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
4 scallions finely chopped
100 g sliced vegan ham , feel free to sub with more tofu or other veggies
50 g diced extra firm tofu smoked/baked tofu works great for extra flavour
Other veggies of choice (peas, carrots, corn, etc!)
1-2 tbsp white miso paste

To Season

1.5 tsp dark soy sauce optional for colour
Salt and pepper to taste
Soy sauce to taste (if desired)

To Serve

Sesame seeds
Chopped scallions or green onions
Nori sheets cut into thin strips

Instructions

Place the rice in a large bowl and break apart with a spoon to separate the grains. If using freshly cooked rice, leave the rice to cool in front of a fan for 10 minutes for the moisture to evaporate.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the butter. Once hot, add the onions, garlic, and scallions. Sauté for 1 minutes, or until lightly browned and aromatic. Add the ham and tofu or other veggies.
Lower the heat to medium heat and cook for 3 minutes, or until the veggies are tender. Mix in the miso paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium high, then add the rice to the pan. Mix in the dark soy sauce (if using). Cook for 2 minutes, then season the rice with salt and pepperor some soy sauce to taste, if needed.
This will depend on the flavours from your miso paste and from your ham. Turn off the heat.
Scoop the rice into bowls and pack them tight before flipping the bowls over on plates to create a rounded shape. Garnish the rice with chopped scallion, sesame seeds, and nori, if desired. This is best enjoyed while hot.
