Vegan Fried Rice with Cashews and Portobello Steaks

Vegan Fried Rice made with roasted cashews, marinated portobello mushroom steaks, eggy tofu and lots of veggies! This Oil-Free Vegan “Fried” Rice is a hearty and complete meal all by itself. I usually make my Vegan Fried Rice with leftover rice from the night before and with all the vegetables I can find in my fridge.

How was your Easter weekend? I am already back after a sweet-but-too-short dash trip to Belgium. My fiance, J, and I flew to Belgium to see family and friends for the Easter weekend and to plan our Big Fat Belgian Vegan Wedding. It was a whirlwind of a trip. We drank Belgian beer, ate lots of chocolate (it was Easter after all!), and got some serious wedding planning done. If you are wondering about travelling as a Vegan in Belgium, I wrote a post about my experience living and travelling as a vegan in Belgium here.

Let’s talk about this Vegan Fried Rice. This is not your everyday Fried Rice. It is made with so many different textures and flavors from the mushrooms steaks to the crunchy bok choy and the fresh “eggy” tofu.

Start your Vegan Fried Rice by marinating the mushrooms while cutting the veggies (or even better overnight). Set aside the tamari-maple marinade to drizzle on the Fried Rice at the end.

Vegan Fried Rice with Cashews and Portobello Steaks

Description

Vegan Fried Rice made with roasted cashews, portobello mushroom steaks, tofu and lots of veggies! This Oil-Free Vegan “Fried” Rice is a hearty and complete meal by itself. I usually make my Vegan Fried Rice with leftover rice.


Ingredients

Scale

Portobello Steaks

  • 3 portobello mushrooms, halved and cut into thick slices
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • pinch hot pepper flakes

Fried Rice

  • 1 tsp vegetable bouillon
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 cup fresh tofu, crumbled
  • 5 cups basmati rice, cooked
  • 4 cups bok choy, roughly chopped

Garnish

  • 1/2 cup unsalted roasted cashews*
  • Cilantro
  • Green onion

Instructions

  1. Portobello steaks: Preheat oven to 400F. Line a pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add the tamari sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, and hot pepper flakes to a large bowl. Toss the mushrooms in the marinade and leave to sit for 30 minutes (to make the mushrooms extra flavorful, you can marinate them in a sealed container overnight in the fridge).
  3. Place the mushrooms flat on the pan, leaving a little bit of room between each mushroom slice. Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes. Do not discard the marinade or the “juice” from the mushrooms roasting, you will use this in the fried rice.
  4. Fried Rice: Over medium-high heat, in a large deep pot, saute the onions and garlic with bouillon and a splash of water until the onions are soft. Add the carrots and frozen peas to the pan, adding a splash of extra water when necessary to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  5. Add the crumbled fresh tofu, cooked basmati rice, portobello mushrooms, bok choy, marinade from the mushrooms, and any mushroom juices from roasting to the pan. Stir all the ingredients together and saute for another 5 minutes. Cover the fried rice for the last two minutes to help all the flavors come together.
  6. Garnish with cashews, cilantro, green onion, and hot pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Notes

1) If your cashews are raw and not pre-roasted. Roast them in the oven with a pinch of salt at 400F for 3-5 minutes.
2) Replace cashews with roasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
