Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Cook onion and tofu until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peas and tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Stir in rice and a little more oil if necessary to keep the rice from sticking. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Season with light soy sauce and sweet soy sauce, stir well.

  2. Move rice to one side of the wok or skillet and add remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side. Crack eggs into the skillet and season with soy seasoning. Let eggs cook for about 3 minutes, flip and scramble. Stir into rice mixture.

  3. Stir in pineapple until warmed through. Season with white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Recipe Note

This may not really be so much a recipe as it is a method of cooking. I end up throwing odds and ends that hang around my fridge into the fried rice and voila... Dinner/lunch/breakfast is served. Make sure you have all your ingredients prepared in advance, because once you start cooking, it goes fast.
