Rice is one of those simple sides that is super easy to bulk up and season to make a really delicious meal. And this fried rice is going to be your new go-to side dish. It is already loaded with veggies, but you could serve it up with some crispy bang bang tofu and have a full meal on your hands.

How to make Vegan Sesame Ginger Fried Rice

The first thing you will need is some day old rice. Using day old rice is ideal because it will keep the rice from sticking together when you add it to the pan with the sauce and veggies. If you don’t have day old rice on hand, you can also cook up a fresh batch, lay it out on a baking sheet and pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

The sauce for this fried rice is a simple combo of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce. Whisk them together and set aside while you cook up the veggies.

Mushrooms are the first veggies to be cooked down. You don’t want them to move around too much in the pan so they can brown a bit on the edges. Next, add in the garlic, ginger, green onions, bok choy and half of the sauce. Cook everything down for a couple of minutes.

Add in the rice and the rest of the sauce and toss it around until everything is heated through!

How to serve Vegan Sesame Ginger Fried Rice

The last step is to add some more green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds to the rice and now, you are ready to eat. It is a super quick recipe, especially if you have leftover rice in the fridge. Just a couple of minutes of chopping, a few more of cooking and you are ready to eat.

You could serve this alongside tempeh, tofu or even more veggies!
