Veggie Fried Rice & Vegan Dumplings!

My family and I love to eat out, who doesn’t? But even more than eating out, I like to create our favorite take-out dishes at home. One of my family’s favorite things to order out is dumplings and rice. I was excited to create a tasty plant based dish featuring the new Nasoya’s Vegan Dumplings! Nasoya, the nation’s leading brand of tofu, has got you covered with Vegan Dumplings, available in two flavors – Tofu Vegetable and Thai Basil Vegetable. Nasoya’s Vegan Dumplings are USDA Certified Organic and also contain 6-7 grams of plant-protein per serving. That’s right, you can serve up a healthy family meal, that your kids will gobble up, too!

Try the Nasoya’s Vegan Dumplings served on a bed of Vegetable Fried Rice. The dumplings are so easy to make, they only take a few minutes to pan fry. The rice is simple to make as well. See the full recipe below!

Vegetable Fried Rice

Ingredients

3 Tbsp veggie broth
Tofu for additional protein (optional)
1 cup onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1 cup cabbage, sliced, (Napa or regular cabbage)
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen green peas,
4 cups rice, cooked and cold, (I like Asian rice & brown rice)
1/3 cup soy sauce, or to taste
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp turmeric
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp white pepper

Instructions

1. Add veggie broth, onion, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms to wok. Saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
2. Add corn and peas (after they have been thawed).
3. Add cooked rice and all other seasonings. If needed, use additional veggie broth to keep from sticking.
4. Continue to stir fry another 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
