Simple Vegan Fried Rice
This is a complete meal. You could live on this.
!WARNING: If you go Vegan you need to supplement. You need to take Vitamin B12 (on an empty stomach), Algae based Omega 3 DHA & EPA, Vitamin D,... and maybe others. Do your research!
Ingredients:
1. Seed Oil suitable for heat. (Peanut Oil or Sunflower Seed Oil for instance)
2. Spices of your choice (Pepper, Chilli, Cumin, Ginger, Koreander, Paprika, Curry, Chinese 5 spices,...)
3. Garlic Powder or Granules
4. 4 or 5 Small Onions
5. One Bell Pepper (Paprika)
6. Day Old Cooked Brown Rice
7. A can or jar of Cooked Pulses (Beans, Lentils, Chickpeas, Edamame)
8. Salt With Jodium
Procedure:
Cook the Brown Rice the day before.
Cut the Onions and the Bell Pepper in small pieces. Go on YouTube for Onion/Paprika cutting techniques.
Take a pan. Preferably a non stick wok pan.
Heat the pan at medium to high temp. But not maximum temperature. It must be hot enough to fry. But not so hot that it could burn.
Pour plenty of oil in the hot pan. The oil must cover the bottom completely. This is where a wok pan comes in handy. You need less oil to cover the bottom.
Pour your Spices and some Garlic powder/granules into the oil. This is called blooming. For one thing, it takes the edge of the spice so you can use a lot more spices for a richer taste. Bloom the spices for about 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring.
Pour in your chopped Onion and Paprika. Keep stirring them. They will let go of their moisture. Let the moisture evaporate and after that stir for another 3 to 4 minutes. The point is to caramelize them but you won't see that well because of the spices.
Add the Day Old Cooked Rice and keep stirring for about 4 to 5 minutes. (At this point you can ad a chopped vegetable like a Courgette or Cherry Tomatoes cut in half, if you want.)
Turn off the furnace and mix in the can or jar of Pulses.
Salt the way you like it and mix it in. Too much salt is bad for your health.
It's ready to eat!
Bon Appétit!
