Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 can (14 oz) Hearts of palm, drained and shredded
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup Green peas, frozen
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 teaspoons Seaweed flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Drain and shred the hearts of palm into a crab-like texture. Dice the carrot finely and slice the green onions.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the skillet, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
Stir in the shredded hearts of palm, seaweed flakes, and lemon juice, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 3 minutes until the hearts of palm are heated through and starting to brown slightly.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice with the vegetable mixture for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Add the frozen peas and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the sliced green onions, black pepper, and salt, stirring well to distribute throughout the rice.
Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Remove the fried rice from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with extra green onions or seaweed flakes if desired.
