Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup green peas, frozen or fresh
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Ensure the jasmine rice is cooked and cooled. Rice that has been chilled overnight is ideal for fried rice as it is less sticky.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil, stirring continuously to avoid burning, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add diced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Mix in the green peas, continue to cook for another 2 minutes until peas are bright green and tender.
Increase the heat to high, add the cooked jasmine rice to the vegetable mixture, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
Stir-fry the rice and vegetables together for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through and well combined with the vegetables.
Reduce the heat to medium, drizzle the sesame oil evenly over the rice, and season with salt and black pepper.
Mix in the sliced green onions and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your soy-free garlic fried rice.
