Tofu is crusted and baked up for a simple addition to many Asian dishes.
Red stained, flavorful brown rice is a perfect side to any Chinese-style dish. A critical part of fried rice, is using day old, slightly dried out rice. If you didn’t make it the day before, cook it an hour or two ahead, spread it out on a baking sheet to dry out in the fridge. Use the beet greens for the greens or substitute chard or kale if your greens were purchased topless. The fish sauce is optional, but certainly adds the authentic flare to the dish. Simply adjust not using the fish sauce with a bit more salt to taste. Skip the egg to make it vegan, a sauté of tofu or crumble of cashews are a nice substitute.
