I just saw this on Ellie Kreiger's show on the Food Network. I have never cooked with tofu, but this looked really good. I am trying to eat healthier, so I am posting this for future reference. If you try it, I hope you like it.

Sesame Shrimp Fried Rice with Cabbage image

This dish is a 10 minute meal in a bowl that gives you all the full-flavor satisfaction of fried rice without loads of grease and salt. Make sure you use very cold cooked rice (hello leftover Chinese food), or you will wind up with a sticky mess.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger

5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
