Steps:
- Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water in small bowl to blend. Whisk in 2 tablespoons onions, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add egg mixture and tilt skillet to coat bottom. Cook until omelet is set, about 1 minute. Turn out omelet; cut into strips.
- Add broccolini, carrots, and remaining 1/3 cup water to same skillet. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat until vegetables are just tender and water evaporates, stirring often, about 3 minutes.
- Heat wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat 1 minute. Add remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, ginger and garlic. Stir 20 seconds. Add broccolini, carrots, rice, and tofu. Toss to blend. Add vinegar, remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Toss until mixture is heated through, about 3 minutes. Add omelet strips and remaining 1/2 cup green onions; toss 1 minute.
STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

This is a very good low-fat recipe. Diced sweet red and green pepper--along with green peas and fresh parsley--add bright color to the simple rice dish. --Dorothy Bayes of Sardis, Ohio
