My son, Nathan who loves my fried rice so much has requested this dish because he wanted his friend, Kaevan (Dee Dee's son) to try it. I hope my vegan friends would understand why I used eggs in this dish. I've just become a vegetarian for less than a year because of health reasons. I'm intolerant of dairy products so I try to avoid them as much as I can. I still include eggs in my diet but I didn't eat eggs during my Vegan Food Experiment. I started to eat them again last week and I feel perfectly fine.
This is how I cook my fried rice:
1) Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, stir until golden brown.
2) Add 2 eggs, stir and cook for few minutes, add cooked rice, soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and a couple drops of agave syrup (secret ingredient), keep stirring.
3) Add frozen mixed vegetables, stir to mix all the ingredients together about 2 minutes and lower the heat. Cover for 5 minutes and stirring gently about 2-3 minutes more.
I've been fascinated with any kind of rice dish. I grew up eating rice all my life, I truly believe that I can't live without it. So here are some wonderful recipes that I've found and can't wait to experiment with. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do:

I've made green curry to eat with rice or noodles countless times and I usually follow the method provided on the curry paste package. I'm not a kind of person who considers making curry paste from scratch, I hope you know why??? This time, I had green beans, green peas, baby spinach and bell peppers but I will add tofu when I cook for Dee Dee. Oh! by the way, you can find more photos of my other green curry from here That's all for today, I'm still working on other dishes and hope I would be able to share them with you very soon. Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog and leaving such wonderful comments. I always appreciate your time, I'll visit your blogs as soon as possible.
Have a lovely week, everyone:)
It's really fun to explore vegan diet, as you will be forced to discover wonderful fruits, vegetables, lentils and beans!

ReplyDeleteYour so lovely cooking for others, i always wish someone besides my mum would cook for me but I guess those who arent veggie dont really like cooking veggie.
ReplyDeleteDid you feel any different after eating vegan? when you started i think i asked the same question, so im guessing not :)
Many people use eggs in fried rice and as i say to my bf, im happy to eat vegan, thats my choice and if people want to try my cooking thats great, but i dont impose or push being a vegan onto anyone :) if that makes sense.
Now i feel like eating fried rice which i havent had in quite a while i must say, we make it very similar to you. The curry sounds lovely

talk to you soon,

Oraphan,
ReplyDeleteHmmm its kind of hard for me to be a vegetarian, but I reduced non-veg intake by degrees. Milk intolerance...must be hard, have you tried coconut milk as an alternate? Although we can't treat them like soy milk, but pretty much tastes right:)
And I really like this fried rice, its comfort meal:)
Plan your menu, I am so eagar:)
And Nathan name sounds cute, and we too have such name in India for boys.:)
The fried rice was great! I love all the veggies in it, + eggs. LOVED IT =D.

It's been ages since I've had fried rice... Some of that would really hit the spot right about now! I'm thinking that some scrambled tofu could fill in nicely for the egg for me, at least. :)
ReplyDeleteThese rice dishes are making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the look of the Thai curry.
That green curry dish looks so flavorful! I haven't had a good curry dish in ages, thank you for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteLucky DeeDee to have you planning on cooking a meal for her!
The fried rice looks really good and so does the green curry. Though, I don't really know how spicy the curry would be, but I really want to try. NOODLES FOR ME PLEASE! =D
