An easy vegan dinner that everyone will love!
Skip to recipe.
I love fried rice and when I used to order Chinese I would always get fried rice instead of any entree. It’s just such a cheap and filling meal and tastes incredible. I’ve been playing around with how to make it exactly the way I like it, but I think I finally have it figured out!
Ingredient details:
- Rice – I used a medium grain rice to get the right texture for the dish, but any rice will do for flavor!
- Firm tofu – Make sure you get firm or extra form for this recipe so that the tofu holds together once mixed with all the other ingredients.
- Corn starch – This will help firm up the tofu and get rid of any extra moisture.
- Just Egg – Just egg is my favorite! It’s so easy to make and has amazing flavor. A work of genius. It tastes amazing in this dish!
- Mixed veggies – I just used frozen mixed veggies since those are what you usually find in classic Chinese restaurant fried rice here in the US.
- Yellow onion – Roughly dice this so you get large chunks. The flavor of the onion really comes through with this dish.
- Garlic cloves
- Coconut aminos & Soy sauce – A lot of people treat soy sauce and coconut aminos as interchangeable depending preferance or diet, but I actually really love the flavor combination and it works great in this dish!
- Vegetable broth – Get low sodium.
- Sriracha – You don’t need much. This adds a bit of heat and flavor to the dish. So good!
- Salt & pepper to taste
