Vegan Vegetable Fried Rice

My kids LOVE Chinese food. They go eat it every Sunday with their Grandma... it's their "thing". Tonight my son asked me to recreate one of his favorites, fried rice.

We started out making rice and scrambled tofu and went from there. It worked out perfectly! We made a few of my Mushroom Egg Rolls  and Gardein orange chick'n to pull it all together. The results were 2 thumbs up from the kids & my husband. Clean plates are always a great sign!
