Vegetable fried rice
Here’s how to get your picky kids or partner to eat, and appreciate, vegetables.
I generally don’t like ingredients cut into small pieces, but I highly recommend you cut the vegetables into small cubes for this recipe. I don’t know why, but I think it tastes better that way. (It’s probably all in my head, but whatever!)
This rice recipe complements a fish or meat dish, but I suggest you try it with tofu, instead. If you’re not vegetarian, you could also try adding turkey or scrambled eggs to the recipe.
