There might be delays in responding to comments on the blog and social media. Do keep tagging me whenever you make something from the blog or my books! I love to see how you all serve the dishes, the changes you make in the recipes and so on. I learn so much from the feedback.

This was the best recipe I’ve tried in a long time. The flavor is amazing (although next time I will cut the sugar down to half.) Not only is it easy but it’s also economical. Pinned this twice- Meatless Mains and Recipes I Love. Thank you so very much.
Awesome! yes adjust the salt and sugar to preference.
Great recipe to use up all the leftover rice that I make too much of all the time. I added some peas and corn and served it with some marinated baked tofu and plum sauce. It was a treat! Thanks for the great recipes. 🙂
Thanks for posting this recipe. I made this tonight, and it was delicious. My husband loved it and said our apartment smells like a restaurant! I cut up some prepared veggie burgers (Hilary’s) to add protein, making it a complete meal. He has many food allergies so meals are a challenge. This recipe will be in our regular rotation. I’ve already sent the recipe to two friends.
Awesome!!
Love those good and simple 1 pot 30 minutes recipes. I have two young children and it saves my life. Thank you so much! 🙂
Hi Richa, just made this dish. I used brown basmati rice and in place of bell pepper i sliced two stalks of celery. Didn’t have an onion either so used onion powder and threw in two Tbls dried chives. Awesome! Taste like I ordered out. Easy and fast.
I made this today with brown rice and it turned out amazing. Thanks for this recipe. I skipped the sugar because I felt it was enough with the sweetness of the veggies.
This looks amazing! Fried rice is one of my favorite foods to make.
I love spring rolls, so I can’t wait to try this wonderful recipe.
Would this work with brown rice?
I’m trying that tomorrow I’ll let you know!
Yes. You might need a tbsp or more water and another minute to heat up the brown rice
Is the rice already cooked when you mix in with the veggies ??
Yes see the ingredients, 2.5 to 3 cups cooked and cooled rice
This fried rice looks amazing, Richa! I hope you have a great staycation with your parents 🙂
