We’ve got so many delicious things going on here, and I’m excited about everything. There’s the cauliflower fried rice, laced with veggies and a scrambled egg.

Grab These Ingredients
You’ll just need four main components to make this stir fry meal prep. Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements—this is an overview!
- Fried Rice: We’ll use homemade cauliflower fried rice as the base of our meal prep. (Learn how to grate cauliflower here!)
- Tofu: Saute your tofu until golden brown with soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. (You could also use air-fried tofu or General Tso’s tofu!)
- Veggies: I used steamed broccoli, but you can throw in whatever veggie you want here (edamame, bell peppers, snap peas, or green beans would all be great).
- Sriracha Mayo: Because no meal prep is complete without a delicious sauce. In this recipe, we’re going with a lightened-up Sriracha mayo!
How to Layer Your Jars
Mason jars are a great way to store meal prep meals (their glass doesn’t stain or leave weird flavors, they’re microwavable, and they don’t leak!). Here’s how to pack them. Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions!
- Spoon In The Sauce. Putting it in the bottom keeps everything else from turning soggy.
- Add The Rice. This is the densest component of the meal, and it will keep the sauce from spilling all over the jar.
- Throw In Veggies. Pack the veggies in to make your jar nice and full.
- Finish With Tofu. It’s best to keep the tofu far away from the sauce so it remains relatively crispy!

Can you freeze these? Not sure how well mason jars would freeze or cauliflower? x
I haven’t tried freezing everything together, but surprisingly the cauliflower fried rice froze well! To reheat you can microwave or saute.

Hi, my name is Paul and I have a question.
I see that you call for microwaving vegetables, but I don’t own a microwave, I do have Instant Pot and a Mealthy air fryer can use the Mealthy instead of a micrwave?
Thanks,
Paul
Yes the air fryer will be great! Just heat them until warm and tender 😀
