Veggie Fried Rice Recipe
Vegetable fried rice is packed with crisp veggies like bok choy, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage, all tossed in a savoury sauce. Finished and garnished with scallions, it’s my take on a takeout favourite.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 sm Green Cabbage thinly sliced
- 1/4 each Tri-Colour Bell Peppers sliced
- 1/2 med White Onions diced
- 1 cup Bok Choy packed
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1/2 med Carrot julienned
- 2 stalks Scallions sliced
Rice & Eggs
- 4 cups Jasmine Rice cooked and cooled
- 2-3 eggs Eggs
Sauce
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp White Sugar
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper to taste
Heat butter in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add carrots, broccoli, and onion and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add remaining vegetables, cabbage, bell peppers, and bok choy. Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes then remove all vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Add sesame oil to the same pan, then crack in the eggs and scramble until just cooked.
Add the cooked and cooled jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and black pepper. Pour over the rice and toss to coat.
Add the vegetables back in and stir everything together until well combined and heated through. Garnish with sliced scallions, serve while hot and enjoy!
- For best results, use day-old rice or rice that has been cooked and fully cooled. This prevents clumping and gives you that perfect fried rice texture.
- Feel free to swap or add any vegetables you have on hand, this makes for the perfect fridge dump recipe.
- Adjust soy sauce to your taste preference. Start with ¼ cup and add more as needed.
- For extra protein, add tofu, shrimp, or chicken.
