Paneer Fried Rice

Serves 3-4

Ready in 15 mins

Original paneer

  • Vegetarian

Better than a takeaway and on the table in 15 minutes. Crumbled Original Paneer tossed through garlicky, gingery fried rice with peas, carrots, soy and a drizzle of sesame oil. Tip: cold cooked rice is KEY, and a pouch of ready-cooked rice works perfectly if you're feeling lazy.
