Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups white jasmine rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil. Heat over medium-high, then add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until they start to soften. Then add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Keep stirring until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with soy sauce.
Mix in the cooked eggs, chopped green onions, and diced chicken (if using). Stir everything to combine and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat all ingredients thoroughly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Riz Cantonais!
