You don't need soy sauce to get a super flavorful fried rice recipe. The best part is it really works well with any vegetables that you need to use up. For this one I used a leftover corn on the cob, some extra red bell pepper, and green onion (which is my only non-negotiable).

Perfect Egg Fried Rice (on Whatever Gear You Have) Recipe

I love to add egg for some protein, but if you really wanted to do this totally vegan it would still be just as good. As you can see, it's a really versatile recipe that's great for a variety of diets.

Coconut aminos - one of my favorite substitutes, coconut aminos look exactly like soy sauce but are made from the sap of a coconut blossom. Because of this, it's a little sweeter and less salty than traditional soy. However, it still contains a good depth of flavor. You do need to balance the sweetness with a little bit of savory, which this recipe does.

Homemade soy sauce substitute - A lot of my recipe chat group members enjoy this recipe if they cannot tolerate coconut aminos. It requires 2 cups broth, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 garlic clove smashed, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon white vinegar. Simmer all ingredients, uncovered, for 15 minutes until slightly reduced.

When making fried rice, it's important to use chilled rice as your base. If you use freshly cooked, it may be too mushy or gummy and won't yield that nice, firm texture that's best.

If using eggs, heat a large wok or skillet over medium high heat, with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add eggs and fry, chopping up with a wood spoon as they cook. Remove from pan and set aside.

To the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil over medium high heat and stir in the chopped vegetables. Sauté until the vegetables have softened, about 2-3 minutes. Timing may vary based on the vegetables you use.

Using the same pan stir in the chilled rice, over medium high heat, and spread out along the bottom of the pan so all the rice covers any open spaces. Sear it for 30 seconds so the rice gets a little crispy. Then begin to stir again. You can repeat this as you like to crisp up the rice.

Stir together the coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, and sweet chili sauce. Then pour it into the rice mixture, allowing it to bubble, and stir till combined. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

This really is a whole meal as one so it doesn't need side dishes. But if you want some ideas on what to pair with it, I recommend the following.

Fried rice without soy sauce will keep for at least 3 days in the fridge. You can just microwave in 30 second intervals to reheat it, however it's always best if you can pan fry it again. This will allow the rice to crisp up more.

Freezer storage - This recipe does freeze well and can be defrosted at room temperature for about 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Freeze for a maximum of 3 months.

Cook till done. (I like making sure I've cooked this through properly so leave it cooking for about 12-15 mins, on a medium flame.)
