One of my staples...Veggie Fried Rice

Veggie fried rice has definitely become a staple, easy, go to recipe when I want to eat something filling. I've gotten into the habit of always having rice at hand because the best fried rice is made from day old rice.

You can use any type of rice you prefer, brown, Jasmin, basmati...or just plain white and you can add any type of veggies you prefer. My favorites are green and yellow squash, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, snap peas, tomatoes and baby corn. You can also add tofu to the rice but I prefer my rice soy free.

Directions:

In a pan sautee all of the chopped up veggies in olive oil or grape seed oil until they are tender. In a separate pan heat up grape seed oil, once hot fry the day old rice until it's a little brown. Then add the veggies to the pan, once all of the ingredients are mixed add a few dashes of low sodium soy sauce (add as much as you want but taste after a few dashes to make sure it's not too salty). If you are vegetarian you can add egg to the fried rice but since I'm vegan I make it without the egg.

Rice Lover!
