🪦 Bring rice back from beyond the grave

Published 6 months ago • 3 min read

Hey Reader,

Cold, sad, stale-ass leftover rice sitting in the fridge? Don’t even think about tossing it when you could give it a new lease on life.

​

For real Reader, this is fried rice gold waiting to happen. With a hot pan, a splash of oil, and nearly whatever odds and ends you’ve got kicking around your pantry (uh, no stale old crackers tho), that boring bowl of grains is about to come back harder than a ‘90s reunion tour.

🍚 Let’s make some gorgeous vegan fried rice together!

Sinangag

This classic Filipino garlic fried rice, or sinangag, is crispy, garlicky, and here to give last night’s rice its redemption arc. It’s a skillet-happy, no-frills kind of magic that takes humble leftovers and turns them into gold. Quick to make, easy to riff on, and packed with attitude.

​
​

Kimchi Fried Rice

You'll relish every scrumptious morsel of this delectable vegan kimchi fried rice (or kimchi bokkeum bap), bursting with bold and savory flavors. It's a simple yet impressive way to transform leftover rice into a gluten-free, plant-based dish that’s a nutritional powerhouse, and also satisfyingly spicy.
​

Tom Yum Fried Rice

This Thai-inspired Tom Yum Fried Rice is completely vegan and gluten-free. Infused with aromatic makrut lime leaves, fiery Bird's eye chilies, and a medley of spices, this recipe creates a balanced meal in one pan that is crazy-flavorful and good for meal prep.
​
​

Khao Pad

This quick, restaurant-quality Vegan Khao Pad recipe brilliantly encapsulates the heart of genuine Thai flavors, marrying jasmine rice, aromatic herbs, and a punchy stir-fry sauce. In under 15 minutes, this eggless fried rice can be as scrumptious and swiftly prepared as its non-vegan counterpart, without any compromise on taste.
​
​

Green Curry Fried Rice

Crispy tofu and jasmine rice caramelized in a herby crave-worthy sauce. It’s the ultimate bowl of comfort that comes together super-fast, makes for a complete meal and hits you with all the flavor vibes.
​

​
​

Thai Basil Fried Rice

Crispy edges, tender grains, and that fresh Thai basil—this Thai basil fried rice is just good ol’ rice, but with the yummiest flavors that make each bite pop. Perfect to pair with any of your favorite stir-fries, soups, or crispy vegan bites!
​
​

A whole new world of fried rice is just right at your fingertips. I can’t wait to hear which one you make first!

❤️ - Your vegan cooking buddy, Adam

"I never made vegan meats at home because I thought it would be too advanced for me. So I always ended up buying the Beyond Meat stuff. This class completely changed that. The jackfruit drumsticks were so easy to make, tasted amazing!!!"

Listen Reader, Mole. It's what's for dinner. Side note: this is NOT the mole in question. Mole is famous for being a savory thing made with chocolate in it. But what makes it crazy flavorful is the roasted dried chiles, charred tomatoes and garlic, fried almonds, and roasted spices. If you have never made it, you are about to lose your dmn mind, because it's hella tasty, and easier than you think. Because I live in a neighborhood with a ton of people from Puebla, I am sharing the style of...
