Audrey's Specialty Fried Rice (Vegan)

A lot of people think that a day old (refrigerated) rice are the best rice for fried rice. I disagree. I like fried rice to be made from fresh steamed rice. I also prefer to use Japanese rice. And, it is against my belief to use whole grain rice for fried rice regardless of how much more nutrient it has. Boo hoo to fried whole grain rice. That is so wrong!

Have you noticed that mushrooms, when stir-fried, smell like eggs? OK, maybe I'm saying it cuz I like eggs and I'm boycotting eggs. Deprivation leads to hallucination? hahaha

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked rice (remember to cook it!)
6 oz firm tofu (cut into cubes)
1 cup of mushrooms (sliced)
1 cup of broccoli (cut into bite size pieces)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 stalk of green onion (chopped)
1/4 cup of cashews
Vegetable oil
Garlic
Low-sodium Soy Sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste

1) Cook the 2 cups of rice in a rice cooker. Follow the directions from the rice manufacturer.
2) Stir-fry the broccoli and set aside. (Add 2 tsp of vegetable oil on high heat. When the wok is hot, add 1/2 tsp of garlic followed by broccoli. Add about 2 pinches of salt and set aside. Cook until it's soft but not too soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.)
3) Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the wok and when it's hot, add the onion and stir until it's lightly browned, and then add the mushroom and the tofu. Continue stirring until the mushroom and tofu is lightly browned. Add a pinch or 2 of salt.
4) Add the rice follow by 2 tbsp of soy sauce and stir. Make sure the soy sauce is evenly mixed into the rice. If it's soggy, continue stirring until the liquid evaporates. (If you did something wrong and your rice is too soggy, not enough of it will evaporate, you should give up after 5 min.)
5) Shake in some pepper. (I put a lot of pepper cuz i like it spicy!) Add some salt if needed. Stir the rice to mix in the seasonings.
6) Stir in the broccoli.
7) Add the cashews.
8) Add the green onion.
