    How do I make vegan chorizo fried rice?

    Heat oil in a skillet. 

    Saute the onions and peppers until soft, about 3-5 minutes.  Add in garlic and saute for 1 minute. 

    Then, add in cumin and fresh ginger. 

    Add in vegan chorizo by either slicing or crumbling it into the skillet. 

    Stir together and add in cooked rice. Stir really well together.

    Can I make this Top 8 Allergen Friendly?

    We have only seen vegan chorizo with either vital wheat gluten or soy.  One of the other. 

    So depending on the allergies that you have you may or may not be able to make this dish. 

    However, you could also use something like chickpeas to cook with the other ingredients in this dish. 

    There is also soy sauce. 

    Whether you are allergic to soy or just avoiding it, there may be many reasons that you do not want to use soy sauce in this recipe.

    You can easily swap with coconut aminos, tamari sauce, or a no soy soy free sauce.
