Vegetable Fried Rice
(Serves 6-8 ~ Vegan)
This recipe is very easy and flavorful. Instead of take-out, try this simple recipe and play around with different veggies. I’ve made vegetable fried rice with tofu scramble mixed in rather than the crispy fried tofu. Also, try using different veggies, by swapping broccoli for peas; or adding cabbage instead. I found a vegan-friendly Kung Pao Cauliflower that I served with this rice also for dinner.
Enjoy!
