Fried rice is a classic dish that everyone loves. However, sometimes you don't want to sit by the stove as your fried rice cooks. That is where this vegan baked fried rice with soy gochujang sauce comes in.
I am obsessed with this baked fried rice recipe. It is made on one sheet pan with tofu, broccoli and carrots. Then there is the gochujang soy sauce. So flavorful and so easy to make. This is an awesome weeknight meal because it is so easy to make. Although it does take 30 minutes most of that time is spent in the oven.
I love a good rice recipe. For more yummy rice recipes try my sweet chili shrimp bowl with coconut rice or my baked brussels sprouts and crispy rice salad.
