Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked Jasmine rice (cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Carrots (diced)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by dicing the carrots, slicing the green onions, and mincing the garlic.
Use pre-cooked Jasmine rice that has been cooled completely. Refrigerated rice works best for fried rice as it reduces moisture and prevents clumping.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season lightly with a pinch of salt, and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the cooked eggs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet, then add the diced carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooled rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and spread the rice evenly in the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to heat the rice and allow it to absorb the flavors.
Add the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix them into the rice. Add the sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Special Fried Rice as a standalone meal or as a side dish!
