Easy Low-FODMAP 30-Minute Vegetarian (or Vegan) Fried Rice; Gluten-free

Printer Friendly Version

This is a scrumptious Low-FODMAP Vegetarian or Vegan Fried Rice Meal that I cannot stop eating!

I load my low-FODMAP fried rice with additional tofu so it is more than just a side dish 🙂

Not only is this low-FODMAP Fried Rice a tasty, healthy and filling dinner, but it is ready in just 30 minutes.  One-pan clean up makes it easy.

Note that I used cooked rice in this fried rice recipe. The cooked rice is drier, so it gets those crunchy edges with the sauce and oils.  If you don’t have pre-cooked rice, then you can certainly cook some up for this meal.

Cook’s hint: I use my rice cooker and make big batches of basmati rice every month or so, then I freeze this in 2 cup portions in freezer bags with all the air squeezed out.  That way I have very inexpensive rice, always ready for meals.
