A super quick and easy Classic Vegetable Fried Rice recipe so you don’t need to order takeout! It’s gluten-free, vegan, top 8 allergy-free, healthy, and full of veggies! A perfect side dish for using leftover rice and transforming it into a delicious lunch or dinner!

I had this strong internal debate on whether to share a fried rice recipe or that 10-minute lo mein recipe I gave you the other week. Obviously I went with the noodles, but rice wouldn’t be far behind! They’re equally delicious and a takeout side dish essential, are they not? Beyond the debate of noodles over rice, I had 3 different versions of fried rice to show you. I’m all about the family favorite pineapple fried rice, but I wanted to give you a nice classic base recipe for takeout-style fried rice. The other two recipes are not so classic…but they’ll show up here soon!Read More

Nothing beats the simplicity of delicious noodles, crunchy steamed veggies, and that magic “take-out” sauciness that comes with every bite (or chop stick twirl).Read More
