Vegan Egg Fried Rice Recipe

Vegan egg fried rice recipe, protein- rich veg fried recipe with full video and step by step pictures.

As you all know we don’t eat egg or add egg in my baking too. Got confused with the title! The recipe of veg fried is without egg but we are making it look and taste like egg fried rice. This is similar to our veg omlette | besan cheela recipe

Besan | gram flour | kadalai maavu is used to replace the egg. This gives good volume and nice taste and texture to the fried rice. I am usually not a fan of mock meats which is quite popular in Singapore and Hongkong. I somehow don’t like the texture and taste of it. Few weeks back my daughter made this vegan egg fried rice after seeing it on Instagram. I tasted that and loved the taste. So wanted to try it on my own and share the recipe here.

The addition of besan make the dish more healthy too. Do try out this easy and yummy vegan fried rice recipe. Also check out
