Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
• 1 cup firm tofu, diced into small cubes
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing your rice. If you have leftover rice, it works best, but you can also cook fresh rice and let it cool.
2. Heat your Blackstone grill to medium-high. Add the vegetable oil and let it warm up.
3. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the diced tofu. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tofu is golden brown on all sides. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
4. Add the mixed vegetables to the grill. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender and vibrant.
5. Push the tofu and vegetables to one side of the grill. Add the cooked rice to the other side. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Mix everything together on the grill. Stir well to combine all the flavors, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Finally, fold in the chopped green onions and cook for another minute. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove it from the grill.
8. Serve your delicious vegetable fried rice with tofu warm. Enjoy!
