Fried rice mixed with vegetables and garnished with sliced scallions in a wok.

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.

Equipment

  • Large Wok or Skillet

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
