Instructions
Begin by preparing all the vegetables: mince the garlic, grate the ginger, dice the carrot and red bell pepper, and slice the green onions.
Slice the vegan sausages into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the vegan sausage slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.
Return the cooked vegan sausage to the skillet, along with the sliced green onions. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
Serve the vegan fried rice with sausage warm, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
