    Vegetarian fried rice is one of those rice dishes you can never get over with. It is a perfect choice when you have little veggies at home. You can make multiple variations yet enjoy the same dish. It is easy cooking and quick one too. All you need is a wok and simple ingredients you have at home. You can never go wrong with this. Every one loves a good large batch of rice. Fresh rice loaded with veggies is a perfect choice when you are hungry. I love making oriental rice and noodle recipes. It is a great way to add veggies you may not like as such, especially broccoli.

    No wonder it is an easy winner too. Other variations of this Chinese vegetarian fried rice are also quite a hit. Be it vegan kimchi fried rice or vegan pineapple fried rice. Schezwan fried rice or vegetable egg fried rice.

    I find it as an easy way to feed your kids veggies without much hassle. What else can you ask for. If you do not have time for veg Manchurian, or pair it with dal fry. It might look like an odd combination, but it just works! Best vegan fried rice recipe oddly for me is served with dal and paneer tikka and some lemon soda. You can also make air fried gobi manchurian or vegan soy curls to pair with this recipe.

    Tip: Chop and deep freeze your veggies over the weekend. Invest in a good chopper to make life easy. This will help you cook food faster during the weeknights.
