Carrot tofu rice/pepper flavor carrot rice with soya milk cheese/How to make simple firm tofu rice/ vegan rice recipes/Step by step pictures

HI.

Carrot rice is familiar to every one which you people makes often with left rice rice.Here I used tofu along with grated carrot and combination of both main ingredients matched perfectly.You can try this like a pulav with chopped carrot instead of grating.....Tofu is a soya milk cheese with less in calories and vegans use it mostly when compare with others..This is a very healthy rice which goes in lunch and also for lunch box.If you want you can replace tofu with paneer,but it`s heavy in calories again...I like to try varieties with rice instead of taking white rice and you know MLH shared so many rice recipes too.as you all know carrot is a very good vegetable which is loaded with vitamins and when it cooks it gives a lovely aroma too. Try this carrot tofu rice and serve with any curry and raita or curd. Now,please take a look.

ABOUT TOFU:

1.Tofu is a curd made from the milk of pressed soybeans. It has a gelatinous texture and doesn't really have a flavor of its own. However, it will take on the flavor of anything you cook it with. There are many different varieties of tofu, but there are three main types usually found in grocery stores: firm, soft and silken.

• 2.Firm tofu has a solid texture and tends to be higher in fat. This tofu is good for grilling or baking.
• 
  
• 3.Soft tofu has a softer texture than firm tofu and tends to be lower in fat. This type of tofu is good as a substitute for eggs or creamy cheeses like ricotta or cottage cheese.
• 
  
• 4.Silken tofu has a creamier texture than soft tofu and can be used to thicken up a smoothie or soup, or as a substitute for mayonnaise. In Japanese culture, silken tofu is typically eaten plain or with a splash of soy sauce.
• 
  

5.No matter what type of tofu you choose, you'll still reap the nutritional benefits of this amazing food.
