I set out to create a more interesting take on greasy take-out vegetable fried rice. Here it is in full glory, and it’s as flavorful as it is colorful. Hooray!
I used brown rice, naturally, and even threw in a handful of greens, which offer even more health bonus points. (The greens are optional.)
I also played around with a variety of vegetables, and all of them worked well as long as they were cut into very small pieces.
This is exactly what you should make when you have leftover rice and some random raw vegetables in your fridge. You’re going to love it!
The Best Vegetable Fried Rice
I designed this recipe to work well in a regular skillet (preferably cast iron), since most of us don’t have woks at home.
The only tricky part, which really isn’t so difficult, is to cook the eggs, vegetables and rice separately, and combine them all at the end.
That way, each component will be cooked just right, and the vegetables and rice will get a chance to develop those delicious golden edges.

Learn how to make vegetable fried rice—it’s a simple and satisfying dinner! This vegetarian recipe features extra vegetables and brown rice. Recipe yields 2 large or 3 moderate servings (I think you could double it if you have a large enough skillet, but you might not get as much caramelization on the edges of the veggies and rice).
Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons + 2 tablespoons avocado oil or safflower oil, divided
- 2 eggs, whisked together
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 medium carrots, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
- 2 cups additional veggies, cut into very small pieces for quick cooking (see photos for size reference; options include snow peas, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, and/or fresh or frozen peas—no need to thaw first)
- ¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 1 tablespoon grated or finely minced fresh ginger
- 2 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 cups cooked brown rice (*see notes!)
- 1 cup greens (optional), such as spinach, baby kale or tatsoi
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce**
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- Chili-garlic sauce or sriracha, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- This recipe comes together quickly. Before you get started, make sure that all of your ingredients are prepped and within an arm’s reach from the stove. Also have an empty bowl nearby for holding the cooked eggs and veggies. I’m suggesting that you start over medium-high heat, but if at any point you catch a whiff of oil or food burning, reduce the heat to medium.
- Warm a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until a few drops of water evaporate within a couple of seconds. Immediately add 1 ½ teaspoons of oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Add the scrambled eggs and swirl the pan so they cover the bottom. Cook until they are just lightly set, flipping or stirring along the way. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and wipe out the pan with a heat-proof spatula.
- Return the pan to heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining veggies and salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally (don’t stir too often, or the veggies won’t have a chance to turn golden on the edges), until the veggies are cooked through and turning golden, about 3 to 5 more minutes. In the meantime, use the edge of your spatula or a spoon to break up the scrambled eggs into smaller pieces.
- Use a big spatula or spoon to transfer the contents of the pan to the bowl with the cooked eggs. Return the pan to heat and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and mix it all together. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is hot and starting to turn golden on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the greens (if using) and green onions, and stir to combine. Add the cooked veggies and eggs and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tamari and sesame oil. Taste, and add a little more tamari if you’d like more soy flavor (don’t overdo it or it will drown out the other flavors) or salt, if the dish needs an extra boost of overall flavor.
- Divide into bowls and serve immediately. I usually serve mine with chili-garlic sauce or sriracha on the side. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3 to 4 days (if you used purple cabbage, it might stain your scrambled eggs a funny blue color, but it’s fine to eat).
Notes
*Rice notes: You’ll need to cook about 1 cup dry rice to yield enough for this recipe; be sure not to over-cook it or it will stick to the pan. I prefer short-grain brown rice since it’s a little chewy, but medium-grain or jasmine rice will work, too. Here’s how I cook brown rice. You can use freshly cooked rice if you spread it onto a large tray and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes first (this gives it a chance to dry out a bit so it doesn’t steam itself in the pan). Day-old leftover, refrigerator rice is great, too. Just break up any clumps of rice before you add it to the pan. Credit goes to Serious Eats for the rice tips!
**Make it gluten free: Be sure to use gluten-free tamari, not regular soy sauce.
Make it vegan: Omit the eggs and the 1 ½ teaspoons oil that goes with them. For extra protein, you could mix in 1 cup edamame (thawed if necessary) or a batch of my crispy baked tofu with the cooked veggies at the end.
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

Okay so this was really great when I initially made this recipe. TONS of layers of flavour so bravo! BUT what I did with the leftovers had me SHOOK. I put the leftovers in the oven and covered it with aged cheddar cheese and Parmesan, baked it at 350 for 15 minutes and broiled on high for 5. This was UNREAL as a leftover cheesy baked bowl of goodness! Thank you again!

Jane
I made this for my vegetarian, new mom, daughter. I used about 5 cups of vegetables instead of 2 but left the rice at 2 cups because we wanted more vegetables and less rice. I used red cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, and red bell peppers. It was delicious! I especially liked the ginger flavor. Next time I will add more ginger and little more of the red pepper flakes. Thanks so much for the recipe.

We made the recipe with asparagus, snow peas, red bell pepper, and broccoli. It was delicious! I’ll have to hunt for chili-garlic sauce to kick up the flavor, but it was quite delicious without it. The garlic and ginger added a nice touch of flavor, and I thank you for this recipe!
★★★★
Kate
That sounds like a great combination, Leslie! Thanks for your review.
Tova
This was the best fried rice I’ve made yet, thank you Kate! I’ve made fried rice many times but wasn’t happy with the way it would turn out. I combined this recipe with your baked tofu recipe and it was a winner. I heated up the leftovers and added a fried egg on top – so, so good, especially with the addition of the chili garlic sauce.

I am a very experienced cook, I make delicious meals for my family everyday; this recipe, however, is extremely long and complicated. I was surprised that no one else commented on the length and complexity. It is a tasty dish but I would not recommend unless you have an afternoon to prepare it; approximately 2 straight hours.
Emma
Wow! That’s ages. It took me about 20 minutes from start to finish – quite a bit of clean up though with the extra bowls. You must be a perfectionist with your dicing Christina ;)

Karen Battle
The dish came out great. I always look for ways to add more vegetables, thank you. I should always read the directions through first. I did make a mistake by keeping the vegetables in the pan when I should have removed them. It still came out good.

You’re welcome, Karen! I’m sorry you had a mishap, but I’m happy it still turnout for you. I appreciate your review!
Robin Braun
This is my favorite meal to cook. During this time, twice I have made a big pan of it and shared it with my 83 year old mother and my friend who can’t really cook and they both love it as well. I have made this recipe many, many times and it is always delicious and I have never gotten tired of it. I sometimes add a few peanuts to it which I think adds something and I often use more eggs, but otherwise I pretty do the recipe as shown above. I just told my other friends where they could find it as it really is the most delicious thing ever and they will be glad they made it! Thank you Kate!

I used white rice, it was what I had. This was so yummy. I switched to a wok because all the ingredients would not fit in my cast iron skillet. Next time, I will double the recipe or 1 1/2 it, I love leftovers and with 2 boys I didn’t have any.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hello,
I felt I had to leave a comment here. I’m a husband and father of two who, until recently, rarely ever cooks for the family. My business has been reduced while my wife’s has exploded, thankfully. Due to her lack of available time, she has asked me to do more around the house with homeschooling, laundry, and yes, cooking. So I consulted the almighty search engine for “easy vegetarian dinners” and I found you. Thank God I did!
For my first from scratch home cooked meal I chose “Extra Vegetable Fried Rice” because it looked easy enough that even I couldn’t screw it up. And I cannot believe how good it turned out! My wife, who is also a very good cook, exclaimed, “This is the best fried rice I’ve ever had.” OMG. Thank you, Thank you , Thank you for your website and for sharing your recipe’s with us plebs. I have printed off about 20 of your other recipes and I’m excited to continuing cooking delicious meals for my family. BTW, my two boys are quite picky when it comes to vegetables and these kids practically inhaled this meal. The only complaint they had was I didn’t make enough for seconds. :)
★★★★★
Paula Jacobson
This is now our favorite meal and is so flexible, since I can use up any vegetables I have on hand. I always double the recipe. Last night I slowly sauteed mushrooms using vegetable stock as needed in place of oil, and then removed it from my skillet. I then stir fried asparagus, red onion and orange bell pepper slices in a small amount of olive oil, adding veggie stock as needed, and removed these from my pan after nicely charred yet still slightly crunchy. Lastly I sauteed some finely diced red onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic, then added in the rice, which I “fried” in 2 batches, and then threw everything back into my skillet. We try to eat plant based/low sodium as often as possible, so I left off the egg and subbed Bragg’s Amino for soy sauce. This is a meal I would definitely feel proud to serve to my carnivorous friends. My husband said it is restaurant quality, and I have to agree!
★★★★★
Debbie Laycock
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe! We all love fried rice but this is really outstanding. Added baby bok choy but otherwise followed the recipe. Everyone loved it!
★★★★★
Manisha
Looks amazing, going to make this tomorrow am! Can you use basmati rice? If not, is long-grain brown rice okay?
Kate
Sure, you can use basmati rice or long-grain brown rice, either one! If it’s white basmati (not brown), just cook it according to the package directions. My rice-cooking directions are designed for brown rice (any variety), just an FYI.
BJ
I never developed a taste for brown rice in all of my almost 69 years. Always too nutty, chewy, hard, just not near as good as white rice. Well, yesterday pretty much changed my mind.
Easy peasy, boil for 30 minutes with a little salt and the rice is done. I followed the recipe for the vegetable fried rice here and my wife raved over it! I was sooooooo impressed I am gonna have to search out more recipes here.
Thanks!
★★★★★
Suzette Van Aken
I was searching for a way to use leftover rice and bits of vegetables to good to waste but not enough for a side dish. This turned out wonderful. For me, the key was the three steps of cooking the eggs first, then vegetables, and finally the rice. In these tough economic times, food should not be wasted. Thank you.

I’m glad this one worked for you, Suzette! Thanks for taking the time to review.

Very beautiful and healthy meal! We used all of the vegetables that you recommended but also added a habanero and serrano for extra spice, yum. We served it with a squirt of lemon. I usually add a little bit of brown sugar to my vegetable fried rice to round out the flavors so I’ll do that next time. Thank you so much!!

Elizabeth
Wanting to make this but wondering what you recommend as substitute the for safflower or avocado oil? Will olive oil work? Canola
Kate
Hi! You do want a higher heat oil for this. But, I do know olive oil has worked for some. You just need to be mindful of the heat. Coconut oil could be a substitution.
Diana West
Oh my gosh! This was wonderful. I didn’t have all the veggies in the recipe, but I did have carrots, onion, purple cabbage, and broccoli. This is the best fried rice I’ve had. No meat necessary and I love the brown rice. I will make this often. *I cooled the rice to room temp and put it in the fridge while I prepped and cooked the rest.
★★★★★
Kate
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Diana.
Elizabeth
This was plus/minus for me, but I think mostly due to my issues so won’t rate it with stars. It was a little short on flavor for me. I didn’t let the veggies or rice brown enough to get that nice caramelized flavor. Next time will add more garlic and ginger, and more sesame oil as those flavors didn’t come through as much as I like. I may have added more veggies than the recipe calls for so diluted out the flavor. Despite this, it was a good meal and a GREAT way to boost our veggie intake. I added 1/4 a block of tofu that I needed to use up as well as peppers, cabbage, carrots and mushrooms. I precooked the mushrooms separately since they have so much water to release. Will certainly try this one again and I LOVE the versatility of using what I have in the fridge.
Monica
Absolutely amazing! Cooked squash zucchini and cabbage separately and then blended together once on my plate and you talking about GOOD! Loved it! Thanks for this receipt Kate.
★★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Monica! Thank you for your review.
Mika K
This is my new favorite recipe!! I packed so many veggies into one meal it was awesome–and there was so much flavor with very little seasoning added (I omitted the red pepper but added onion and garlic powder). For veggies I included: bok choy, garlic, yellow onions, green onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, peas, carrots and zucchini. I followed the rest of the recipe pretty much except I used hulled barley in place of rice and it was amazing. I can see this being a daily meal for me.
★★★★★
Kate
Hooray! This is a great one to have as a favorite. Thanks for sharing what you included, Mika.
Brandi Bliss
We absolutely love this recipe. We don’t use cabbage, but we do use sugar snap peas, carrots, broccoli, standard peas, and bell pepper. It’s super tasty and filling!

Honestly I have never rated a recipe before in my life. However, this is the best fried rice I’ve literally ever had. If you’re thinking about making it… Do.
It’s hard to find vegetarian recipes that taste delicious and incorporate lots of actual veggies and fill you up. This recipe checks every single box. I added extra pepper flakes and added the chili garlic sauce right into the pan, which gave it a great kick. Highly recommend.

Love this — so simple, tasty and filling! The thing that I do change for efficiency’s sake is instead of whisking the eggs together and cooking them first, I push the veggies to the side and just crack the eggs directly into the pan, scrambling with my spatula and mixing with the veggies (at the end of step 4) before dumping it all onto a plate and adding the ginger/garlic/pepper to the pan. Doing this eliminates a dish to wash!

Just so you know, next time I’m going to follow your recipe exactly, but tonight I am going to modify the basics to use up leftover quinoa from last night. I don’t have fresh ginger so I’ll sub a teaspoon of dry ground. Have to leave out the green onions. Plus I’m using sunflower oil because that is what I have.

I’ve made this twice now, once using only fresh vegetables and once using a large bag of frozen mixed vegetables as the base. Both ways it was delicious. To boost the protein I added cooked edamame beans for the last five minutes of cooking, and roasted peanuts when serving. I also like how it tastes when topped with sambal oolek. I used some of the leftovers for breakfast the next day, adding an egg and scrambling it together. Also super tasty. I like how healthy and delicious this recipe is.
