I am trying to think of something else I can grow indoors to put in my Chicken Fried Rice
Mark E.
Great idea! Here are some easy indoor-grown vegetables and herbs that would complement chicken fried rice beautifully:
1. Green Onions (Scallions) 🌱
- Why? Adds a fresh, mild onion flavor.
- How to Grow: Place the white ends of store-bought green onions in a jar with water. Change the water every 2 days, and they’ll regrow in about a week.
2. Bean Sprouts (Mung Beans or Lentils) 🌱
- Why? Adds crunch and nutrition.
- How to Grow: Follow the method you used for bean sprouts!
3. Baby Bok Choy 🥬
- Why? Adds a mild, slightly sweet crunch to fried rice.
- How to Grow: Regrow bok choy from the base by placing it in shallow water until roots develop, then transplant into soil.
4. Basil or Thai Basil 🌿
- Why? Adds an aromatic, slightly sweet flavor.
- How to Grow: Basil grows well in a small pot with plenty of sunlight.
5. Cilantro (Coriander Leaves) 🌿
- Why? Adds a bright, citrusy freshness.
- How to Grow: Start from seeds or regrow from store-bought stems in water before planting in soil.
6. Garlic Chives 🧄🌱
- Why? Adds a mild garlic-onion flavor.
- How to Grow: Grow in a pot with well-draining soil and bright light.
7. Mini Sweet Peppers 🫑
- Why? Adds color and sweetness.
- How to Grow: Start from seeds and grow in a pot with good drainage and plenty of light.
Would you like specific growing instructions for any of these? 😊
