Questions about Fried rice without meat
Why is cold rice better for fried rice?
Chilled rice is drier, so the grains stay separate instead of turning mushy in the pan. Cook rice ahead, cool it quickly and refrigerate it; break up clumps before frying.
How do you stop meat-free fried rice from going soggy?
Use cold, well-drained rice and a very hot, wide pan. Fry in small batches, and add watery vegetables such as mushrooms or courgettes before the rice so their moisture can evaporate.
Can you make fried rice without eggs?
Yes. Leave the egg out, or add crumbled firm tofu for a savoury, substantial alternative. Fry tofu until golden before adding the rice.
How long does leftover fried rice keep in the fridge?
Cool it quickly, refrigerate it within an hour in a shallow covered container, and use it within a day. Reheat it only once, until steaming hot throughout.
Can you freeze meat-free fried rice?
Yes. Freeze it as soon as it has cooled, in meal-sized portions, and use within a month for the best texture. Defrost it in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
What vegetables work well in meat-free fried rice?
Peas, spring onions, carrots and finely chopped cabbage cook quickly and are easy to mix through. Add frozen peas straight to the hot pan; thaw and drain other frozen vegetables first to avoid excess water.
How does vegetable chow mein compare with meat-free fried rice?
Vegetable chow mein has 43 kcal per 100 g, compared with 174 kcal in meat-free fried rice; it also has less carbohydrate, at 4.54 g versus 32 g.
