Plant-Based Fried Rice

Plant-Based Fried Rice

Plant-Based Fried Rice, a classic dish with a non-meat or dairy spin. We wanted to try out Just Egg’s plant-based scramble and thought fried rice would be a great testing ground. Mix and match your vegetables with bok choy, broccoli, or cauliflower. For the best outcome, prepare your rice ahead of time and allow it to completely cool. Leaving it in the refrigerator the day before is even better.
