Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice (or any long-grain rice)
- 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
- 0.5 cups Frozen peas
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (make sure it's vegan)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing all the ingredients: dice the carrot and bell pepper, mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, and measure out the frozen peas and other ingredients.
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain a bit of crunch.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil into the center. Add the cooked jasmine rice, and gently break up any clumps with a spatula.
Sprinkle the soy sauce, salt, and ground white pepper (if using) evenly over the rice. Mix thoroughly to combine the rice with the vegetables and seasoning. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes to ensure everything is well heated and coated in the sauce.
Add the chopped green onions and give the fried rice one final toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately as is, or pair it with your favorite vegan dish. Enjoy!
