Vegan “Egg” Fried Rice by King Cook

Light, fresh, and easy meals are a must in summer, right? No body has got time to be slaving  over a hot oven in the summer. And when you can use fresh ingredients, then it makes it ll the better.
I have been reducing how much meat I use, and have been vegetarian since the start of the year. I limit how much dairy I have when I can, but eggs can be my downfall. Poached eggs, need I say anymore?
But I am trying to reduce how reliant I am on animal products, so do dabble with vegan recipes from time to time. They can be so easy to make, and they keep well, as well as being full of goodness. So when I was sent across this vegan “egg” fried rice by vegan chef King Cook, I had to give it a try. King Cook is owner of vegan restaurant ‘Cook Daily’ in Boxpark, Shoreditch. Have you ever been?
