Welcome to Chef Sherry's plant-based kitchen.

Sauté frozen peas and carrots with a little bit of scallion or onion in a pan.

Use an air fryer to brown the tofu, then add it to the sautéed vegetables.

Prepare brown rice in an Instant Pot, then set it aside when done.

Combine tamari or soy sauce, peanut butter, date syrup, minced garlic, and chili garlic sauce in a bowl and stir together.

Pour the sauce into the fry pan with the sautéed vegetables and tofu.

Add the cooked brown rice to the pan and mix everything together until combined.

Taste the mixture to adjust the spice level, noting that less chili garlic sauce is better for flavor.

Serve the fried rice as a lunch or dinner option, noting that it can be made in a double batch for leftovers.
