Vegan Richa Support

Rhonda Weast
Made these with brown rice, added jalapeños and plant based meat crumbles. Air fried in my Ninja Foodi. They were delicious!

Vegan Richa Support
it was a hit!
Jessica
Made this tonight and upped the serving size to six even though I was only serving four, and am glad I did. It was just enough. I also used town basmati rice and extra rice vinegar, which worked well. I will definitely make this again but next time reduce the amount of pepper.
Susel Lopez
Am I able to sub the rice with quinoa?
Richa
yes
Beena
Hi Richa! I don’t have white pepper. Will the absence of it really alter the flavor of the dish? I’m excited to try this recipe! Thanks. 😊
Richa
sure. use black pepper
Beena
Thanks for your reply! I doubled the recipe and added scrambled eggs to it. It came out amazing. My toddlers loved it. Have you made this in the Instant Pot? If so, what would be the steps? Thanks again!
Tahnea
This dish was awesome!
I have just discovered your website and have the next three meals planned from it. I’ve also bought your second book on kindle.
I will be going through all of your recipes and trying heaps. You have renewed my interest in the kitchen. My family and I have been vegan for 10+ years.
Thanks for all you do!
Richa
Thats amazing!! So glad you found the blog!!
Paige
I have no sesame oil can I use olive or canola oil instead?
Richa
Sesame oil is for flavor here, You can omit it. Add a bit more soy sauce and other flavoring
Dee
Toasted sesame oil?
Richa
yes
Maria
I made this today, following the recipe exactly except for adding in some chopped mushrooms. It was phenomenal. Not only was it incredibly easy to make, it was a great way to use up leftover veggies from a couple other recipes I made earlier in the week. This dish will definitely be put in my regular meal rotation. Thanks so much.
Richa
awesome!
Ana
This rice looks sooo delicious! I love making fried rice, it’s easy to make and so good 🙂
Bev
Made this tonight! It was delicious! My family loved it! Thanks for the recipe!
Richa
AWesome!
DJ
I made this yesterday with minimal modifications and it was fantastic.
– Used lots of fresh ginger and more fresh garlic (instead of powder),
– Increased the veggies to rice ratio
– Added lots of cilantro and green onions before serving (everything is better with cilantro).
-Like others noted, the veggies provided enough sweetness, so I skipped the sugar but for my taste a bit more rice vinegar was needed.
– For added protein we stir fried some pressed firm tofu (flavored with ginger garlic hot sauce)
This will be on our regular dinner menu, thank you!
Terry
This was the best recipe I’ve tried in a long time. The flavor is amazing (although next time I will cut the sugar down to half.) Not only is it easy but it’s also economical. Pinned this twice- Meatless Mains and Recipes I Love. Thank you so very much.
Richa
Awesome! yes adjust the salt and sugar to preference.
Amber
Great recipe to use up all the leftover rice that I make too much of all the time. I added some peas and corn and served it with some marinated baked tofu and plum sauce. It was a treat! Thanks for the great recipes. 🙂
Elise
Thanks for posting this recipe. I made this tonight, and it was delicious. My husband loved it and said our apartment smells like a restaurant! I cut up some prepared veggie burgers (Hilary’s) to add protein, making it a complete meal. He has many food allergies so meals are a challenge. This recipe will be in our regular rotation. I’ve already sent the recipe to two friends.
Richa
Awesome!!
Éliane
Love those good and simple 1 pot 30 minutes recipes. I have two young children and it saves my life. Thank you so much! 🙂
Crystal
Hi Richa, just made this dish. I used brown basmati rice and in place of bell pepper i sliced two stalks of celery. Didn’t have an onion either so used onion powder and threw in two Tbls dried chives. Awesome! Taste like I ordered out. Easy and fast.
Michelle
I made this today with brown rice and it turned out amazing. Thanks for this recipe. I skipped the sugar because I felt it was enough with the sweetness of the veggies.
Colleen
This looks amazing! Fried rice is one of my favorite foods to make.
Betty
I love spring rolls, so I can’t wait to try this wonderful recipe.
Kajal
Would this work with brown rice?
Hala
I’m trying that tomorrow I’ll let you know!
Richa
Yes. You might need a tbsp or more water and another minute to heat up the brown rice
Chely
Is the rice already cooked when you mix in with the veggies ??
Richa
Yes see the ingredients, 2.5 to 3 cups cooked and cooled rice
