A simple Egg & Veggie Stir-Fried Rice has been my favorite dish at Asia restaurants in my pre-vegan times and I was totally craving something like that but it had to be vegan and it had to be healthier than the usual stuff. So I made this Vegan “Egg” & Veggie Stir-Fry in only a matter of 15 minutes (when you have the rice already cooked). The dish is absolutely delicious and I’d say it’s even better than the veggie stir-fries you can get in restaurants!

I’ve topped my simple “egg” and veggie stir-fry with sriracha. Depending on the chili you’re using it’s more or less spicy. If you don’t want it spicy at all, leave out the chili and the sriracha or adjust to your own spicyness level!

For the “egg” I used scrambled tofu and seasoned it with curry powder, turmeric and kala namak (my secret ingredient for the best vegan tofu scramble ever). It’s the perfect mix-in for this stir-fry. I’ve also added shredded carrots, garlic and chili. Tossing everything in the food processor and let it get chopped it such a time saver!
For the rice, I’ve used precooked parboiled rice – it’s perfect for this dish because it isn’t sticky! I’m using parboiled rice a lot, it’s kind of my favorite rice.

This used to be my absolute favorite dish at Japanese restaurants! The veggies that came with were good too, but the real reason I was there was for the rice. And I do miss that eggy-ness in my stir-fries, so I just want to dig into this right now (even though I haven't even had breakfast lol :D)

Same, same, same! I don't know why but I didn't even give other dishes a try. I knew exactly what I wanted, hahaa. Kala Namak is the best when it comes to eggyness :D
