Yum! I love this oil-free, vegan, fried rice dish. Top with cilantro and fresh chile and you are good to go! Sometimes I also add Sriracha, because I’m an addict … don’t judge me. Looking for more healthy vegan dinner ideas?

Ingredients

Teriyaki sauce

1 small clove garlic, crushed
1 small knob ginger, finely grated
1 tablespoon low-sodium Tamari
2 tablespoons dry sweetener
½ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 tablespoon water

Unfried Rice

1 cup frozen or fresh corn
2 carrots, diced
3 green onions, chopped
4 mushrooms, sliced
1 8-ounce can chopped pineapple, or fresh if available
2 cups baby spinach
1 red chile, seeded and diced
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 small head broccoli, diced
2 cups uncooked brown jasmine rice

Instructions

Give your rice a good wash and then cook it according to package directions or in a rice cooker.
Heat a tablespoon of water over medium-high heat in a nonstick frying pan or wok, until the water begins to simmer. Add the carrots, broccoli, and green onions and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, corn, pineapple, spinach, chile, and cilantro. Mix together and turn down to medium heat. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time as needed, to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
To prepare the sauce, place the garlic, ginger, tamari, and coconut sugar in a small saucepan. Stir and let it cook for a minute or until the sugar dissolves. Add the ½ cup water.
Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce, stir well, and let it cook and thicken for a further 2 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, throw it in the pan with the cooked veggies, pour your delicious sauce on top and mix it all through! Serve immediately.

My husband and I both loved this recipe (and he’s not fully into plant based)! I think it would be good also with some scrambled tofu – maybe I’ll try that next time. The recipe is delicious!

Unfortunately this was terrible. Zero flavour, very blah. I had to throw the whole lot in the bin.

Great option for replacing the usual Chinese takeout!

Do you think this could be frozen to eat at a later date?

It definitely could!

Very very delicious! Totally recommend it!
I would like to add that this comes about to 3-4 portions instead of the proposed 2.
