Use whatever veggies you’d like. I typically use carrots, peppers, onions, broccoli and peas.

Feel free to use your favorite veggies. I usually use peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli and peas and often I use a combination of whatever veggies are in my fridge and some frozen ones from the freezer. Serve with extra soy sauce if you want, but you really don’t need much to get the flavor!

  1. This was actually a very good reminder, so thanks! I used to make fried rice all the time as a quick dinner, but it’s been quite awhile since I’ve done it. It’s such a tasty, healthy option!

  12. This is an amazing recipe! I love Hawaiian fried rice, but have never thought to try a version at home. I might leave out the garlic (sadly) because I avoid FODMAP food, but up the green onion ante and maybe add some ginger! Going to try this weekend =)

  20. Stir fries and rice dishes like this are always my go-to on weeknights where I dont have a lot of time to throw something together, but want to make something tasty and satisfying (and slightly more nutritious than a freezer burrito). This looks tasty!
