Ingredients to cook Vegetable Fried Rice
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Ingredient Costs: $10 – $15
Cooked Rice (2 cups, preferably day-old rice)
Mixed Vegetables, diced (1 cup includes carrots, peas, bell peppers)
Green Onions (3, finely chopped)
Garlic Cloves (2, minced)
Eggs (2, beaten)
Soy Sauce (2 tablespoons)
Sesame Oil (1 tablespoon)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions to cook Vegetable Fried Rice
Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure your rice is cooked and cooled. Dice your vegetables and have all your ingredients measured and ready to go.
Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Cook the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and cook until they’re just tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Scramble the Eggs: Push the veggies to one side of the pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, mixing them with the vegetables once they’re mostly set.
Add the Rice and Season: Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and stir everything together until well combined and the rice is heated through.
Finish and Serve: Stir in the chopped green onions, give everything a final mix, and then transfer your vegetable fried rice to a serving dish. Enjoy hot!
Tips for Involving Kids in the Cooking Process
Veggie Prep: Let kids help wash and dry the vegetables. With supervision, older children can also help with dicing.
Mixing: Kids can help mix the ingredients together in a large bowl before cooking, under adult supervision.
Adding Toppings: Let kids personalize their portions with toppings like chopped nuts, sesame seeds, or extra green onions.
Variations for Different Dietary
Preferences or Restrictions
- Vegan: Omit the eggs and add extra veggies or tofu for protein.
- Gluten-Free: Use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
- Low-Carb: Substitute cauliflower rice for traditional rice.
