A quick, flavorful, and healthy vegan fried rice made with simple vegetables and a savory sauce, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked white rice (preferably cold)
2 Tbsp vegan butter
1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
2 Tbsp furikake seasoning (optional, for topping)
2 Tbsp sliced green onions (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions and let it cool completely (ideally refrigerate overnight).
  2. Chop all vegetables. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl.
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add vegan butter. Once melted, add onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add peas, carrots, and edamame. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the cold cooked rice to the wok. Break up any clumps. Pour the sauce over the rice and vegetables.
  6. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly, until the rice is hot and evenly coated.
  7. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with furikake or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Using cold, day-old rice is crucial to prevent a mushy texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or corn.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water to restore texture.
