RECIPE OF THE DAY
VEGAN FRIED RICE
INGREDIENTS
2 cups [uncooked] rice (white or brown),
steamed
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped brocoli
florets
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsp. sesame
oil
6 tbsp. soy sauce
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Steam
the 2 cups of rice before you begin cooking this dish and sit it
off to the side.
2) Chop up the carrots. I like to get carrot chips
and just cut along the lines and then chop up the sticks.
3) Chop
up the brocoli florets so that it's mostly just the top half of the floret
in small bits.
4) Pour 1 tbsp. of sesame oil into a large frying pan.
Heat over medium heat.
5) Cook carrots in pan, stirring frequently,
until tender, but still crisp. (Roughly 4-7 minutes, depending of the size
of the pieces) Set aside.
6) Cook the brocoli in the pan after
removing the carrots. Stir frequently and cook until the pieces begin to
slightly brown (roughly 2-5 minutes) Set aside with carrots.
7)
Pour the remaining 1 tbsp. of sesame oil into the pan. Cook steamed rice in pan for roughly 6-8
minutes, flipping frequently and stirring almost constantly to prevent
overcooking on the bottom.
8) Add soy sauce to cooking rice one tablespoon
at a time, until 5 out of 6 have been added.
9) When rice has been
cooking for about 6-8
minutes, add chopped green onions and cook for one minute.
10) Add
carrots, brocoli and remaining tablespoon of soy sauce to the rice and
onion mix. Cook another 2-3 minutes.
NOTES: Feel free to change up the veggies
used or to add some tofu! The best way to check how the veggies and
rice are cooking in the pan is to
taste it! =]
