This Easy Fried Rice with Broccoli Cabbage Slaw is a simple to make at home, takeout favorite. It’s an incredibly delicious fried rice recipe that takes 10 minutes or less to make. And here’s some awesome news– it requires NO chopping! Simply yummy.

Do you ever have a fried rice craving? It’s a takeout favorite that’s so easy to make at home.

I have to admit I also crave, fairly regularly, cabbage. Stir-fried cabbage to be precise. And broccoli… and carrots. One day, it dawned on me… to combine all of those favorites in an easy, savory fried rice. That has now become my current favorite ever fried rice.

And here’s the best news of all. There is NO chopping! It’s quick… like 10 minutes or less quick. And oh my — so, so delicious.

Broccoli Cabbage Slaw

A deviation from traditional fried rice, this salad kit brings a delightful crunch and unique texture to a takeout favorite. Plus… it’s incredibly easy!

This is the brand I found at my market, but any brand of salad kit that contains similar ingredients would do just as well. This kit includes grated broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Remove the included dressing kit and refrigerate for another use.

Freshly Made Rice vs Chilled Leftover Rice

Chilled leftover rice is ideal for fried rice. The grains are dry, separate easily, absorb the oil and cook best in a wok or pan. Often when making rice, I’ll double the batch in the rice cooker or Instant Pot and reserve 4 cups for fried rice.

However… a fresh batch of rice can also be used when a fried rice craving hits. The key is in the cooling. To use a fresh batch of rice, cook as usual and then allow it to cool before using it to make fried rice. This is achieved fairly quickly by spreading the rice in a thin layer on a sheet pan. Then refrigerate the rice until it’s cool to the touch.
