15 Vegetables That Go Well in Fried Rice

When putting vegetables in a fried rice dish, the most important thing to consider is the texture of the vegetable. For example, if you want your fried rice to have beans, it's best to put them early in the cooking process so they can soften properly. But if you add them too late, they'll be overcooked and mushy.
You should also think about the flavor of the vegetable. If you're using something like kale or spinach, you'll probably want to add more salt and spices to make sure that it stands up enough against your other ingredients. If you decide to use something like peppers, which are already pretty strong in flavor, then you may not need to add very much (if any) extra seasoning.
The last thing I'd think about when adding veggies to your fried rice is if they are going to be cooked all the way through. For example, if you're going to put raw peas in your fried rice, make sure that they are small enough that they cook through before you eat them. Otherwise, you might end up with some uncooked peas in your food—not pleasant!
