Quick and easy vegan fried rice is full of healthy veggies, and it’s gluten free and nut free, too! It’s easy to customize this simple dish according to your tastes.

Fried rice…it seems simple, and maybe not a recipe to get too excited about.

However, this is one of those recipes that checks off a lot of boxes.

This gluten free and vegan fried rice is:

  • easy to make with ingredients you probably have in your pantry and fridge right now
  • really easy on the budget
  • simple to make allergy friendly

This recipe is full of veggies, and takes just a few minutes to make. In fact, if you have leftover rice from a different meal, this is a great way to use those leftovers.

Even though this version has a fair amount of veggies, you can take some shortcuts to shorten up the prep time. I like to use store-bought shredded carrots and broccoli slaw, it’s just easier for me.

The rice takes a little while to cook, but all in all, this meal comes together easily, and makes a quick lunch. You could even add an egg or some other protein if you want – it’s up to you.

What is tamari sauce?

Tamari sauce is a soy sauce that does not contain any wheat or gluten. You can find it near regular soy sauce at the grocery store. Make sure the label says “gluten free.”

Is there a soy-free alternative to soy sauce?

Yes, you can try coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Another option is this recipe for homemade gluten free soy-free soy sauce.

    Such a pretty stir fry, it looks yum! Try making your fried rice with leftover rice that’s been refrigerated overnight, it’s a great way to use up any extra rice. :)
