Quick and Easy Sesame Fried Rice

By , About.com Guide

Fried rice is a popular dish at Chinese and Thai restaurants. Make a simple vegetarian and vegan fried rice with this basic recipe using sesame oil and soy sauce. You could also add some tofu or extra vegetables to your fried rice if you like.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cups brown rice
  • water for boiling
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, sliced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1/2 cup green peas (optional)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Preparation:

In a large skillet, toast the rice in the sesame oil for a minute or two, until lightly browned. Add water and cook the rice until done, about 20 to 25 minutes.

In a separate pan, sautee the onion, cabbage, carrots and peas in the olive oil until veggies are almost soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the cooked rice and stir well until combined and heated through. Add soy sauce and combine well, adding more if desired.

Enjoy your vegetarian and vegan fried rice!
