10-min Chili Oil Fried Rice

If you like fried rice, this chili oil fried rice will spice up your life! Easy, tasty and takes 10 minutes with my 5-minute homemade chili oil recipe.

If cooking seems complicated to you, you are at the right place – I’m here to show you that vegan cooking is more EASY than you think! This Chili Oil Fried Rice is one of my favourite ways to clear out leftover vegetables, protein and rice.

Depending on the chili oil you use, it easily adds flavour to the rice. I used my 5-min Homemade Chili Oil for this recipe.

Here are some easy pointers to make this delicious and easy spicy fried rice:

• Use leftover rice for the perfect fried rice because it has a firmer texture. Using freshly cooked rice can cause the dish to be too mushy.
• You can use my homemade chili oil recipe or any chili oil you can find at your local asian grocery store.
• I love to garnish my fried rice with scallions but you can also add on toasted sesame seeds.
• Some of my favourite vegetables to add to fried rice are kailan, bok choy, carrot, corn and cabbage. Depends on what I have in my fridge but this recipe only includes tofu.
• To make this recipe gluten free, substitute the soy sauces with a gluten free version like tamari or coconut aminos. There are also gluten free soy sauces available (look for ones without wheat in them).
