Vegan Garlic Fried Rice with Celery, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Bell Peppers, Carrots and Peas. Vegan Glutenfree Nutfree Recipe.
It is one of those months. Random things to do and less time for the kitchen, photographing, editing and on the computer in general. This is a quick dinner from this week. Garlicky fried rice. You can switch out the Rice with cooked noodles for a fun stir fry. Add any veggies of choice and so on. This is also a recipe with approximate measurements:). The sauces, seasoning can be easily adjusted to taste.
The other meal we had yesterday was this fun somewhat Mexican Pizza. A quick Black beans, tomato, jalapeno mish mash, topped with fresh tomato, red onion salsa on a Wheat Crust. Baked for 14 minutes at 400 degrees F, then topped with Jalapeno cheddary Nacho cheese(I dont remember the brand, we picked it up a wedge from whole foods), ranch dressing(I made a small portion of this recipe with just cashews) and chopped lettuce. Sliced and eaten within 5 minutes.
What am I looking forward to in the new year, is beating my own anxiety issues to the curb. Getting my energy back and figuring out my balance. I am quite tired of walking into a store and losing balance just when I reach the back aisle, and not knowing if i will be able to walk back on my own. I think I might just learn how to walk blind folded, coz my eyes always give me bad feedback and screw up the darn balance. We shall see.
And hopefully finding a sweet little house with a yard, so I can start fostering again. It is difficult and much more tiring to house train the dogs without a yard. And cooking a lot more too. Spending time in the kitchen cheers up these dark and rainy days.
I am thankful for the continuous support from hubbs and from you all, the blogger community and everyone who drops by to read or comment or make my recipes. Have a great Holiday season you all.

December 17, 2012 at 10:39 pmFried rice is one of my absolute favorites! Adding “garlicky” pretty much clinches it. Best of luck with you goals for the new year – I’m thinking 2013 is going to be a good one for you.
Richa says

December 18, 2012 at 6:32 amThis garlic fried rice sounds delicious! I love coconut aminos, but tend to use them very sparingly as they are quite expensive where I can find them. This recipe looks like a good place to use them. I’ll have to try this super garlicky twist on the classic fried rice soon!
Richa says
December 22, 2012 at 7:49 amThe garlic adds a lot of flavor, so you wouldnt need as much aminos or other sauces. Do give it a try!:)
christine says
December 18, 2012 at 12:03 pmyou had me at “garlic” and didn’t let go – this looks so comforting, ideal for the dreary days. Good luck for 2013, hope your wishes come true:)
Richa says
December 22, 2012 at 7:48 amThank you christine. I hope all your wishes come true too!

December 18, 2012 at 1:53 pmI’m still trying to figure out my own New Year’s resolutions… It usually takes me the whole month of January to decide, since there’s no rush. That way I end up with a truly well thought out and realistic goal, since there’s nothing worse than working towards something impossible. Anyhow, regardless of that decision, I will definitely be making your fried rice at least once in 2013! It looks wonderful, and is full of veggies I almost always have on hand already.
Richa says
December 22, 2012 at 7:50 amWow. i dont plan for anything realistic:) its just a generic goal and any step towards it counts as a success 🙂 Happy holidays and a wonderful new year Hannah:)

Richa says
December 22, 2012 at 7:47 amThanks Julian.. There is no styling really. i just took the pan of hot rice and put it on my overused board prop 😉

December 18, 2012 at 11:41 pmYou’re right, Ellen and eggs is super frustrating, but there’s more to worry about right now. I went to my kid’s school Christmas performance today and couldn’t help tearing up when the Kindergartners and 1st graders were singing. So tiny and innocent. It’s all so disturbing. You are right that the nation needs to look at all of the elements going on here.
And as always, I love the fried rice. Extra garlic is just a bonus! xx
Richa says
December 22, 2012 at 7:46 amI love garlicky thai fried rice and this is pretty much spot on. garlicky, fresh and crunchy.
There are definitely so many elements which need attention and changes. Saw the NRA speech today. highly irresponsible.

March 2, 2013 at 3:05 amI love to make a similar recipe as a quick meal mid week! I’ll be trying your combinations, it looks lovely. You could call it comfort food!

April 7, 2020 at 9:23 pmLove the scale up feature for the portions! I made 6 portions and it was so yummy. I added shrimp in with the garlic took it out the pan and then cooked all the veggies, took that out then fried the rice and mixed all because it was a larger portion I had to do it this way but it worked. I also used white pepper and added some curry powder for even more flavor. It was a hit with the hubby and even my toddler 😉 I also tried you Indian style fried rice with the turmeric… that was also yummy.
