Quick and Easy Vegetable Fried Rice with Spinach

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.
