Asian Fried Rice & Miso Soup

1. Wash the rice and make simple white rice (sources) in rice cooker or on stove. Chopped and prepared all vegetables — This is the longest step.
2. Boil water and put half of the vegetable base in the boiling water pot(1). Put the other half of vegetable base in 1 cup of warm water (literally 1-cup measuring cup)
3. Warm up a pan(2) with sufficient oil inside, put minced garlic and carrots. (wait for 3 minutes)
4. After the rice finishes cooking, let it cool down and mix two eggs in until evenly yellow. Put 2/3 cups of mix vegetables into the pan(2) (if not thaw in advance, then wait 5 minutes). Put two tablespoons of miso soup base into the pot(1) — wait for 5 mins.
5. Put the yellow rice into the pan and stir with the vegetables. (Be patient, wait a bit for the eggs surrounding the rice to cook for around 3mins). ;)
6. Stir in the remaining vegetable base from the cup into the pan(2). In the pan, season to your flavor: put a tablespoon of soya sauce, 2 teaspoons of salt, 3 teaspoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika — If you like spicy, put additional cayenne pepper.
7. Put tofu and green onions into the miso soup pot. Stir in green onions into the pan. Wait for 5 minutes for both. And — Enjoy!!
