I really love how this vegan fried rice tastes :) Fried rice is such an easy dish to whip up with whatever you have in your fridge. For this japanese-y fried rice, I wanted to add mirin but I ran out, [or at least I thought I did :-( ] and I wanted to add japanese chili powder over but I had apparently used it up too. I'm obsessed with the stuff, and spicy food in general.

1 tsp dark soya sauce (or less if you prefer)
1 tsp - 1.5 tsp maple syrup
1/3 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp water

Spring onion, chopped
Seaweed
