How To Make:

To make veg fried rice, you will need cooked rice, a variety of vegetables, and some seasoning. The vegetables typically used in veg fried rice include onions, carrots, peas, bell peppers, and mushrooms, but you can use any vegetable you prefer. Some recipes also call for eggs, tofu, or meat, such as chicken or shrimp.
To prepare the dish, you start by heating some oil in a wok or large skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the vegetables and stir-fry them until they are cooked but still crispy. Then, you add the cooked rice to the wok and continue to stir-fry the mixture until the rice is heated through and coated with the seasoning.
The seasoning used in veg fried rice typically includes soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sometimes chili sauce or sesame oil for added flavor. You can also add some salt, pepper, and other spices to suit your taste.

Tips:

1. Use cold, cooked rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice can become mushy when stir-fried.
2. Cook the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding the wok or skillet, which can result in steaming rather than stir-frying the vegetables.
3. You can add more flavor and depth to the dish by using vegetable broth or chicken broth instead of water when cooking the rice.
4. For a healthier version, use brown rice instead of white rice and add more vegetables.
5. To add some crunch, toss in some toasted cashews, peanuts, or sesame seeds.

Variations:

1. For an egg-free version, skip the scrambled eggs and add some crumbled tofu or tempeh for protein.
2. You can add some sweetness by tossing in some diced pineapple or mango.
3. Make it spicy by adding some chopped chili peppers or chili sauce.
4. Use quinoa instead of rice for a gluten-free option.
5. To make it more colorful and nutritious, add some chopped kale, spinach, or other leafy greens.

Remember, the possibilities are endless, so feel free to experiment and make your own unique veg fried rice!
