Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice with Edamame

Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice with Edamame by Alison's AllspiceI started experimenting with kimchi as an ingredient long ago.  So far, my favorite way to eat it is in fried rice.  This vegan kimchi fried rice with edamame is a colorful dish that is super easy to make!

I previously posted a kimchi fried rice recipe that had a sunny side up egg on top.  This vegan version is just as good, and is a bit more colorful thanks to the red cabbage.

Variations to the Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice with Edamame recipe:

  1. Soy Free – Swap the edamame for chickpeas.  I have used both in this recipe.  The chickpeas have a drier texture but still work well.
  2. Speedy Swap – try a bag of coleslaw mix in place of the red cabbage to eleminate a prep step.
  3. Probiotic benefit – don’t forget that you shouldn’t heat the kimchi to retain its probiotic benefits!
