Yummy Plant-Based Fried Rice

Ingredients 0/18

Step 1

Combin the water, rice, oregano, basil, sage, cayenne pepper, Creole seasoning, a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring it all to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed—this should take about 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil and vegan margarine together in a large pan over medium-low heat. Once melted and warm, add the cooked rice to the pan along with the chopped green bell pepper, carrot, celery, and tomato. Pour in the soy sauce, season with salt and pepper to your liking, and give everything a good stir.

Step 3

Keep cooking and stirring the mixture until everything is heated through and the veggies are just tender, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Once it’s all combined and flavorful, it’s ready to serve!
