Curried "Egg Fried Rice"- 5 Minute Vegan Dinner

I usually cook my dinner the night before if I have dance the next night, so I like making something super light and quick- usually a salad. Salads usually won't keep me going for 4 hours so I'll usually grab a protein bar and I'll be good to go BUT I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY that the protein bars I eat have milk ingredients in them. WHY!!! So in comes Plan-B: 5 Minutes Dinner fixes that are super easy to make, super healthy, and super filling. Superrrr!

The title is in quotations not to trick you into thinking this is some faux-egg or faux-rice because it's not, it's NOT real eggs or rice, it's just better. :D

Quick veggie lesson here: Cauliflower, among brocolli, arugula, kale, and cabbage are a part of the vegetable kingdom categorized as "cruciferous vegetables". Cruciferous vegetables have excellent cancer-fighting properties, and they help our bodies break down potential carcinogens. Cruciferous veggies also help reduce stress, are full of vitamins and minerals, and phytochemicals. They also have a lot of fiber, and keep you feeling full for a long time! It's suggested to sometimes skip the bread or potatoes at dinner and just have some broccoli or cauliflower!

In this recipe, the the 'egg' was actually tofu, and the 'rice' were cauliflower florets! It was super easy to make, and delicious too! Besides, who needs all that carb anyways?

5 Minute Curried Egg Fried Rice serves 1 hungry dancer, or 2 as a side dish :)

• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/8 package (about 6 oz) smooth tofu
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 1/2 cup frozen vegetables of choice
• 2 tsp curry powder (more or less to suit your taste)
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• salt and pepper to taste

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets just a few times to make it into fine little pieces.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Saute the tofu with the frozen vegetables, breaking the tofu with wooden spoon to resemble 'scrambled egg' texture. Add cauliflower and season with curry powder, cumin, and salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
