A quick and easy vegetarian and vegan vegetable fried rice recipe. Fried rice with vegetables is an easy and versatile dish perfect for vegetarians and vegans. I made this basic version with the vegetables I happened to have on hand, which was spinach, tomatoes and green beans. For a main dish, add some diced tofu for a vegan entree, or, mix up an egg or two and just add it in to the mix! Couldn't be easier!
Ingredients:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tomato, chopped
- large handful spinach, chopped
- other vegetables of your choice, chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/3 tsp salt (sea salt is best)
- juice from 1/2 lime
Preparation:
Sautee garlic in olive oil for 1-2 minutes.
Add cooked rice and stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients, except for salt and lime juice. Allow to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in the salt. My secret for a great vegetarian fried rice recipe is to squeeze some fresh lime juice into the mix just before serving.
