Ingredients

  • 2 medium Carrots
  • 70 grams Frozen green beans
  • 70 grams Red pepper
  • 200 grams White rice (uncooked weight)
  • 100 grams Tofu
  • 150 grams Low FODMAP Kimchi
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1,5 tbsp Soy sauce
  • Spring onion (green parts) for decoration
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Prep

  • Cook the rice according to package instructions. Or even better, use leftover rice from another dish.
  • Cut the tofu into smaller bits, either cubes or strips should work well. Dry it off and set aside.
  • Chop the carrots and red pepper into smaller bits. Try to get them to a similar size.
  • Take the frozen green bean and cut into ½inch sections (unless you bought the cheaper pre cut kind).
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them to break the yolks.
  • Put the kimchi on a chopping board and make a few cuts across it with a knife to get it into smaller bits. The size is not that important you just don't want large chunks of kimchi in the dish.

Cooking

  • Start heating ½ tbsp of oil over a medium heat and add the carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Add in the peppers and green beans and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
  • Push the vegetables to the side and add the eggs in, scramble until desired texture is achieved. Then push the egg aside with the vegetables.
  • Add another tbsp of oil in and then tip the cooked rice in. Fry for a few minutes to warm the rice through and then mix all the vegetables in with the rice.
  • Pour over 1 tbsp of soy sauce and if desired add a pinch of MSG. Tip the chopped kimchi in and mix well.
  • In a separate pan (or the same, empty it out and add give it a wash) add ½tbsp of oil and fry the tofu for 5-6 minutes per side over medium heat until nice and crispy. Halfway through when you flip the tofu add ½tbsp of soy sauce and move the tofu around to coat them.
  • Add the tofu to the fried rice, serve up in bowls and top with your preference of topping. We usually go for some spring onion greens, some crispy sea weed and a little bit more kimchi.
