Vegan & Gluten Free Vegetable Fried Rice

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure here.

Fried rice is one of my go to meals at our house. Super simple to prepare. I recommended making your rice in advance for easy meal prep on busy weeknights. It’s also easily customizable to your family’s liking. I hope your family enjoys this dish as much as we do!

Ingredients Needed for Vegetable Fried Rice

• Cooked rice: I’ve used Indian Basmati, long grain white rice, brown rice, etc. It’s really up to your preference.
• Just Egg: This can be omitted if you wish but it really gives it a nice flavor and texture.
• Peas and carrots: frozen. You could also purchase a steam bag of them and steam before adding.
• Yellow onion: I used about 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
• Sesame oil
• Gluten free soy sauce: gluten free or coconut aminos.
• Garlic: minced
• Add on: Pink Hibachi Sauce

*This feeds my family of five with 3 cups of cooked rice.

How to Make Vegetable Fried Rice

The first step in preparing your meal is to make your rice. I highly suggest you make your rice a day or so in advance. I’ve found that cold rice works better and keeps a better texture than rice just made. My favorite way to make rice is in my Instant Pot. Simply prepare your rice according to package directions and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to prepare.

In a large sauce pan, saute diced onions and garlic. Once the onions are softened add in frozen peas and carrots and cook until tender. Push cooked vegetables to the side or feel free to now put the cooked vegetables in a separate bowl. To cook your Just Egg scramble, simply pour the liquid Just Egg into your saute pan and “fry” and chop the liquid until it resembles the texture of cooked eggs. Pour in your prepared rice and stir together with vegetables, Just Egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix all ingredients together until combined and serve. I love to top this recipe with my creamy and flavorful Japanese hibachi “pink sauce” recipe.
