Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the skillet.
Add the cooked jasmine rice, spreading it out in an even layer across the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir in the carrot and red bell pepper, mixing gently to combine all ingredients.
Let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even crisping.
If desired, drizzle the sriracha over the rice for added spice.
Toast the sesame seeds in a separate small pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned, then sprinkle over the rice.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot as a main dish or a side.
