Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 links soy-free sausage (pre-cooked, chopped into small pieces)
- 1 medium carrot (diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced, including greens)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- salt (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon optional sriracha or chili paste (for spice)
Instructions
Prepare the jasmine rice in advance and let it cool. Cold rice works best for fried rice recipes.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pre-cooked sausage pieces. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned and heated through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the diced carrots and red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, making space in the middle. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Return the sausage to the skillet, then add the cooked jasmine rice. Toss everything together to combine evenly.
Drizzle the coconut aminos and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat the ingredients evenly. Add black pepper and salt to taste.
If desired, stir in sriracha or chili paste for a spicy kick.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
