Veggie Spring Rolls Fried Rice
Description
The recipe starts by cooking sliced onions and finely chopped garlic in a neutral cooking oil until translucent. Sliced carrots and bell pepper are added and cooked briefly. Shredded cabbage joins along with salt and black pepper, and the pan is covered to soften the vegetables further. Sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar are then mixed in, layering sweet, tangy, and savory elements with a hint of spice from garlic powder, ground ginger, and white pepper. Cooked and cooled rice is combined into the vegetable mixture and cooked through. After adjusting seasoning, the dish is covered and rested briefly before serving, optionally garnished with scallions or cilantro, or toasted wonton wrappers for crunch.
This preparation brings the crunchy vegetable flavors typical in spring rolls into a comforting rice dish with balanced umami and spice.
