This vegan olive vegetable fried rice is full of flavour and only takes 15 minutes to make. To showcase the taste of the olive vegetables, we will only use a few simple ingredients. In fact, this recipe is alliums-free as we will not be using any onion, garlic, or spring onions!
What is commonly known as olive vegetables are really mustard greens fermented with black olives. Hence, the name 橄榄菜 (gǎn lǎn cài) or “olive vegetables”. This preserved vegetable originated from Chaoshan, Guangdong. Its use in Chinese cuisine dates as far back as the Song Dynasty.
Olive vegetables are salty and rich with a unique taste and fragrance. Some people find the taste of olive vegetables really full-on, so if you’ve never had it before, I suggest you start with 2 tbsp first. I ended with 4 tbsp but I really do like the taste of this preserved vegetable.
Enjoy your vegan olive vegetable fried rice!
