Sharing is caring!

Let’s be real: there are days when you can’t really be bothered to make anything so these 2 super easy fried rice recipes are perfect for a quick and easy meal! You’ll need 1 pan and 10 minutes (or even less)!

They’re super tasty and also a really good way to use up some leftover rice and veggies.

First up, Teriyaki Fried Rice! I love making my own really easy, homemade teriyaki sauce and storing it in the fridge until ready to use. It lasts me weeks, even months! I love the sweet and really savoury taste of teriyaki sauce since it really brightens up a dish!

I’ll share my own homemade teriyaki sauce recipe below too!

Next is this this garlic turmeric fried rice is inspired by the Filipino ‘Sinangag’ or garlic fried rice. It’s very aromatic from the garlic and is a beautiful yellow colour from the turmeric powder. The bell pepper is for a touch of extra flavour, and you can totally enjoy this by adding other veggies of your choice!
