Whenever someone asks me for a simple and delicious plant based dish, I give them a recipe for vegan fried rice. This is hands down one of my all time favourite recipes, and one I keep coming back to.
It’s so simple to make and can be done in 35 minutes with only 10 minutes of prep, making it a great choice for any week day.
The brown rice is flavoured with miso paste, while the vegetables are cooked with tamari, coconut sugar, fresh ginger and heaps of garlic.
This recipes calls for onion, sweet corn, carrot and green beans but you can easily modify the recipe to fit you better by swapping some of the vegetables with your personal favourites or with what you have in the fridge. I rarely ever make the same vegan fried rice twice.
I hope you’ll love this dish as much as me! It’s satisfying, simple, flavourful and delicious. It goes well with a simple green salad but it stands great on its own too.
