Skip the take-out and make this healthy Vegan Brussel Sprout Fried Rice at home!

I love Thai inspired food, but I never really make it at home. I have been a quest to change that and create for Thai food at home.

This Vegan Brussel Sprout Fried Rice is a fall inspired take of traditional fried rice. Brussel sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables and so good for you! In this recipe, I thinly sliced the brussel sprouts so they get nice and caramelized without having to cook for a long time.

To keep this fried rice recipe vegan, I simply left out the eggs. If you don't have a wok like myself, you can use a cast iron skillet.

This recipe is fairly simple to make, even though the vegetables and rice need to cook separately. Cooking them separately allows the veggies and rice to develop a nice caramelization and golden color.

To keep this Vegan Brussel Sprout Fried Rice on the healthier side, I used brown rice. I just love all the fresh vegetables in this fried rice.

For a complete dinner, I served theVegan Brussel Sprout Fried Rice with the new Thai Basil Vegetable Dumplings from Nasoya. 

These vegan dumplings are so good. They only take a few minutes to make since they are ready to cook. Great for a quick and easy meal!

Next time I am tempted to oder take-out, I will be making this healthier fried rice at home!
