Vegetarian Fried Rice; no egg: 10-minute meal
Vegetarian fried rice meal is a quick meal idea to cook in 10 minutes.
I love making this fried rice recipe with only a few vegetables; grated carrot and zucchini, edamame beans, onions and garlic (if I have them), tamari (or soya sauce) and chilli sauce. To serve this fried rice, I drizzle a little more chilli sauce and sprinkle toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. This recipe is a perfect way to use leftover rice and vegetables left at the bottom of the fridge. I make this recipe without eggs as my husband dislikes eggs, but add an egg, diced chicken, or whatever extras you'd like.
