Many vegetable fried rice recipes call for egg, but this vegan version relies entirely on vegetable oil instead – but feel free to add real or vegan egg to the mix if you want. If you find yourself with leftover rice from another meal, don’t throw it away! This is a perfect way to use up that second-day rice and turn it into something delicious.
