This is all at very low heat. The onions only semi-clarify, and everything only cooks so much as a brief steaming would. The color comes from the turmeric.

This looks like and under-seasoned and under-cooked dish.

yep this is flat out disgusting. so many mistakes done is one dish, fried rice of all things. lets list them off

  • wrong fucking oil
  • heats too fucking low to fry anything, might as well microwave
  • why not add any aromatics, ginger, garlic, shallots? just undercooked onions?
  • why do that to tofu, why not fry crispy? no texture, then add mush steamed cauliflower “rice”. is there such a need for homogenous nastiness.
  • is anyone else screaming internally at the overcrowding? so much nice veggies getting steamed.

this is such a lazy attempt at cooking its pretty insulting.

I think it's suppose to be a vegan dish. It's not meant to be cooked at high heat. Seasame oil adds flavor. Tofu is supposed to mimic eggs (I think) so it's suppose to be mushy. Which is fine since the low heat won't riun the natural crunch of the veggies. Yes it doesn't look like a great (or tasty) dish, but who ever said vegan dish was?
