Oh. My. Goodness. SOOOfreaking good!
I didn’t have the right Worcestershire sauce so I used a vegan one I had and also soy sauce and it turned out so amazing! Also added some vegan egg and just wow. Super good and absolutely going into my meal rotation!

It was very good. I used chickpea tempeh instead of hotdog and dark mushroom soy sauce instead of vegan worcestershire because I didn’t find that sauce. We really liked it and will make it again !

Super quick and easy to make 🤩 absolutely delicious 🥰 will definitely do it again ❤️

I came across this recipe almost as a lifesaver. I tried this with some leftover rice when I had a hard time to swallow my day to day meals, this recipe was so easy, just a small mixture if ketchup, Soy sauce and any veg stock powder. It sounds perfect for someone like me who wouldn’t bother to spend half an hour or more in the kitchen for a quick meal. Honestly I wasn’t expecting it’ll turn out to be too good but wow. Once I made, this was so amazing, even my siblings had a small share from my bowl of rice. I’d definitely love to follow this simple recipe for quick stirred fried rice on busy days. Love how this small combination gives an amazing taste!
