Veggie Fried Rice
This meal is a simple, yet flavorful meal that your entire family will love! In my house, my boyfriend and I eat a lot of rice, so I like to experiment with different ways to turn something simple into something unforgettable. One of our most regular ways is rice and scrambled eggs and yes, while that does sound simple, it is surprisingly flavorful! But while that meal is a favorite, I wanted to push my creativity further and try my hand at one of my favorite rice variations.
Hibachi-style vegetable fried rice! I am lucky and have a long cast iron pan that allows me to work hibachi style, but this meal can also easily be done with a regular pan, wok, or whatever you have available. I personally love to work with a cast iron skillet for almost everything that I make. The cast iron skillet I currently have and love is the Victoria 10 Inch Cast Iron Skillet. I am absolutely obsessed with my cast iron and you can read more about that and my other kitchen recommendations here!
Pairings
This meal is perfect as is for a great vegetarian option, but if you want to add some extra protein to your meal, I highly recommend pairing with garlic butter chicken bites and a hard boiled egg. I personally am a big fan of steak and if I could, I would eat it with every meal. That being said, steak might not always be the best option for you or your family. My boyfriend much prefers to have chicken, so I have found the garlic butter chicken bites to be a for us.
This meal, similar to my Vegetable Stir-Fry, pairs wonderful with Emy’s Special Stir-Fry Sauce (Listed Below). The recipe you will read below only includes soy sauce and some seasoning, but I highly recommending also creating Emy’s Special Stir-Fry Sauce.
Emy’s Special Stir-Fry Sauce
This stir-fry sauce is so delicious and perfect for this meal and more! Please feel free to use this recipe to spice up your stir-fry, but if not, you can use regular soy sauce or teriyaki depending on your preference of flavor.
(This creates enough sauce for 2 portions of stir-fry)
- 1 tbsp of Avocado Oil (or the oil of your choosing)
- 5 tbsp of Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tbsp of Honey
- 1/2 tbsp of Hot Sauce
- 1/2 tsp of Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp of Ground Black Pepper

Ingredients
Method
- Dice Squash and Zucchini into cubes, mince garlic, and chop onions into long pieces
- Add your Vegetables into a covered pan with your oil, salt, and pepper and cook on low heat until soft
- In another pan, add in your rice, butter and eggs and cook on low heat until eggs are completely cooked into the rice
- Once eggs are fully cooked, add in your soy sauce (Or. Emy's Special Stir-Fry Sauce) and your vegetables and stir until completely incorporated
- Serve and enjoy!
