Ingredients

14 oz cooked rice (from the previous day (e.g. wholegrain, jasmine or basmati rice))
2 carrots (finely diced)
1 red bell pepper (finely diced)
½ zucchini (finely diced)
¾ cup peas (thawed)
3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1.5 tbsp coconut syrup (or other syrup)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 red onion (finely diced or 4 shallots)
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 inch piece of ginger (chopped)
2 red chilies (seeded and finely diced)
2 tbsp sesame oil (or peanut or canola oil)
1 recipe scrambled tofu
cucumbers (cut into small sticks)
roasted peanuts
sesame seeds
scallions (sliced)
parsley (or other fresh herbs)

Method

1
Cook the rice according to package instructions. Then allow to cool, stirring gently occasionally to keep it fluffy. Set aside for at least 2 hours (but preferably overnight).
2
Put all the ingredients for the seasoning paste (except the oil) in a mortar and smash well (or use a small food processor or blender). Then add sesame oil and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or use immediately.
3
If you want to serve the nasi goreng with vegan scrambled eggs, you can prepare them according to this recipe.
4
Heat a large deep pan or wok. Add the seasoning paste and the vegetables (except the peas) and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Add the rice and continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly crispy (add a little more oil if needed). Stir in tamari and coconut syrup. Then stir in the peas and scrambled tofu. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
Serve your vegan nasi goreng in bowls and garnish with cucumbers, toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, scallions and fresh parsley or other toppings as desired.
