Easy Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe
Easy fried rice recipe! This quick and easy vegetable fried rice recipe is perfect when you have leftover rice and fresh veggies that need using in your fridge. It is easily adaptable to any fresh vegetables you have and you may choose to add scrambled eggs if you want
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked and cooled long-grain or basmati rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon hot curry powder not the Caribbean curry powder
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce optional if using salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Veggies used
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 small chopped white onion
- 1 medium green bell peppers
- ⅓ chopped green onions
- 1 Red chilli pepper substitute for red pepper flakes
- 120 g sweet corn drained
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat, add diced carrots and green bell pepper and stir fry for one minute. Add chopped onions and continue to stir fry for another two minutes. Followed by the frozen peas, stir fry for another minute. (at this point, the whole vegetables would have cooked evenly and would be the perfect texture)
- Add curry powder and dried thyme, briefly stir to combine, then add the chopped green onions and sweet corn and stir to combine. Add butter and stir until melted into the veggies. Lastly, add the cooled rice and stir fry until combined. Finish off with a tablespoon of light soy sauce but this is optional as I didn’t use any
- Take it off the heat and serve immediately.

Notes
Tips
- Use any vegetables of choice like thinly sliced cabbage or chopped broccoli. For best result and evenly cooked vegetables, stir fry the harder vegetables first then go in with the softer ones that would take less time to cook.
- For a healthier version, swap basmati rice or long grain rice for brown rice.
