Nutritional yeast adds cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

cooked rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa is a protein-rich alternative.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

Tamari is gluten-free and has a similar taste.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add diced carrots, peas, and bell pepper; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the cooked rice, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil; mix well.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Transfer the rice mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.

Sprinkle vegan cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
