I add a ton of vegetables to my meals now that I’ve stopped eating meat. It’s actually great because if I want my plate full (literally), I have to add something! This vegetable fried rice is so flavorful and filling and so easy to make! I use real sweet Hungarian Paprika (which I highly recommend) and it makes such a difference in flavor. If you do eat meat, throw in some grilled chicken cut into little cubes or if you like shellfish, add in shrimp (my favorite)! This rice is great for leftovers! Make a big batch early in the week and you have a delicious meal or side dish for a few days.
