THE BEST Veggie Fried Rice

8:00 AM

I don't like to toot my own horn - but I think I make a pretty mean Veggie Fried Rice.
It's one of those recipes that just get's better each time I make it.

It's super vegan-friendly. You just omit the egg and/or use tofu or another protein substitute.

The hub's favorite addition to my amazing fried rice is my dairy-free Yum Yum sauce.
 If you are a fan of the white sauce you get a hibachi restaurant, this you'll love this one

The day before you plan to make your fried rice. Cook rice according to bag directions (I usually cook mine in 3 cups of water to the 1 and 1/2 cup of dry rice). Place it in the fridge for safe keeping ;) This will make the best tasting fried rice, but you can also make the day of if need be. With your 4 eggs, scramble them in a separate pan and set aside when doneBefore you start heating your pan, warm up your bag of mixed veggies and set them aside when done as well.In a deep pan or wok, add oil to a pan and heat. Once the pan is heated add sliced onions and saute. When the onions are almost translucent, add in the minced garlic and cook till fragrant.Once fragrant, add your mixed veggies and stir them together with the onions and garlic. Then add your cooked rice and eggs.Toss in the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic salt to taste and mix till well incorporated.

Another good sub for rice in this recipe is quinoa. According to delicious living "Swapping quinoa for rice ups the nutrient game for this one-bowl favorite. Make quinoa up to five days ahead and store in fridge. You can also make the entire dish ahead of time and simply warm it up for dinner." (link to recipe for Quinoa Fried "Rice)

    1. That would be perfect! My husband LOVES sriracha (like he puts it on everything ;) ) but I'm a spice wimp and leave it out. But I think it would do SO well in that Yum Yum sauce for sure!
