This is a quick and easy vegan fried rice recipe made with tofu and fresh vegetables. Its the perfect side recipe or lunch.



Vegan Fried rice and I are best pals. We have known each other for a very long time and it is one of my favorite rice dishes to make.

So, vegan diet can be difficult . There are very few vegan recipes that you can find in Chinese restaurants. If you are a vegan and find yourself in Chinatown NYC, go to “House of Vegetarian” on Mott street.

When you open the menu, you will be wide-eyed in wonderment. It is a cornucopia of wonderful vegetarian and vegan recipes. I have been to a few restaurant where I can order anything from the menu.

This is one of them

For my fried rice, I went with tofu. I found that if I shallow fry the tofu, it makes for a great addition to the rice. I hope you love trying a quick easy meals like this vegan fried rice.

It also works for vegetarian meals or when you are looking for weeknight easy dinner ideas.

If you don’t have any of the fresh vegetables, you can use the frozen version of mixed vegetables. Microwave about 2 cups of the vegetables for about 45 seconds before stir frying them.

For this recipe, I went with basmati rice because it is long grain rice. Also, it is very easy to make basmati rice and the trick is to wash it first. I made a quick step-by-step tutorial on how I like to cook Basmati rice.

If you don’t have Basmati rice, any long grain rice will be work well in this recipe. Once, I tried vegan fried rice with brown rice. It wasn’t bad at all, but, I prefer long grain rice.

This version of rice is on the spicy side because I use Thai chile and sriracha sauce. If you prefer to go a little less spicy, skip the Thai chili.
