Healthy, Easy Brussels Sprout Fried Rice

Quickly toss the rice, adding ginger and garlic to the veggies.

This vegan fried rice is nourishing and delicious, yet takes only about 30 minutes to prepare. When I grocery shop, I am inspired by the produce items that are in season, because they are the freshest and most flavorful ingredients to use in a recipe.

*If you don’t have a wok, no worries, just use the largest pan you have. Give every step of cooking a bit more time because woks are hotter and cook quicker. You may need a bit more oil as well.
