Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it turns translucent.
Add the diced carrot, green beans, peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still retain some crunch.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. If needed, add an additional drizzle of oil to the empty side.
Add the cooked rice to the empty side of the pan. Stir gently to break up any clumps.
Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari over the rice and mix well to combine the rice and vegetables evenly.
Add the sesame oil, freshly ground black pepper, and salt (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot as a main dish or a side dish. Enjoy your gluten-free vegetable fried rice!
