Tofu Fried Rice | Healthy Fried Rice Recipe | Gluten Free and Vegan

Hi Supermoms,

Cooking with seasonal fresh vegetables is always a pleasure . Varieties of peppers /chillies are now available in the market and putting them together in a fried rice is a great idea. This is a easy to make , quick rice dish that can be made using left over rice too. 

Hand ful of ingredients and just few minutes of cooking, you get a great tasting rice dish that can be packed even for your office/school tiffin box. I have used Tofu in this dish, but you can substitute it even with cottage cheese/paneer. You can also use vegetables of your choice.
