simple vegan fried rice
You only need 7 ingredients to make this simple vegan fried rice and it’s ready in 15 or 20 minutes. I make this recipe very often and sometimes I add other veggies, depending what’s in season.
Here in Spain you can eat this dish at Chinese restaurants and is made with rice, peas, carrots, scramble eggs and ham. Some restaurants also add chicken or shrimp. I use peas, carrots and tofu and I don’t use any substitute for the ham, but you can add sun dried tomatoes or any vegan meat.

ingredients
3/4 cup Basmati rice (150 g)
Extra virgin olive oil
1 chopped carrot
1/4 cup frozen peas (35 g)
2.7 oz firm tofu (75 g)
⅛ tsp turmeric powder
Sea salt (optional)
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
instructions
Cook the rice according to package directions. I recommend you to cook it the day before.
Heat oil in a wok or skillet and sauté the chopped carrot over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the peas and cook for another 3 minutes. Set aside.
Use a fork to crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the tofu in the wok/skillet with a little bit of oil for about 5 minutes. Add the turmeric powder and some salt (optional) and stir. Set aside.
Add more oil and cook the rice for 2 minutes, add the veggies, tofu and tamari or soy sauce and cook for 3 minutes more.
