Veg Fried Rice
Light, colorful, and deliciously satisfying, Veg Fried Rice is a beloved stir-fried rice dish that brings together fluffy rice, crisp seasonal vegetables, and classic Asian flavors — a perfect choice for a quick lunch, dinner, or anytime you crave comforting, tasty food without meat.

The dish starts with long-grain or basmati rice cooked just right — fluffy yet firm enough so each grain stays separate while stir-frying. The rice is then tossed in a hot wok with an assortment of fresh vegetables — typically including finely diced carrots, green peas, cabbage, capsicum (bell peppers), onions, and spring onions for vibrant color, crunch, and a sweet, earthy taste.

A touch of garlic and ginger is stir-fried to release a fragrant aroma that infuses the rice. A splash of soy sauce, a dash of pepper, and sometimes a hint of vinegar or chili sauce give the rice its signature savory-tangy flavor with a subtle smokiness from the wok’s high heat.

Some variations include scrambled egg for extra richness (optional), but the classic Veg Fried Rice keeps it purely vegetarian — light, satisfying, and full of wholesome veggie goodness.

Served steaming hot, Veg Fried Rice is perfect on its own or paired with sides like chili paneer, momos, stir-fried vegetables, or a bowl of hot soup — a go-to favorite that’s quick to prepare and always hits the spot.
