Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups Adzuki beans, cooked and drained
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 medium Parsnip, diced
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral, like vegetable or avocado oil)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional - for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional - for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add in the diced carrot and parsnip, and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sesame oil to the empty side. Once hot, add the cooked jasmine rice and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Add the cooked adzuki beans to the skillet and stir everything together evenly.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper over the rice mixture. Stir well to coat the ingredients in the spices.
Drizzle the soy sauce or tamari over the fried rice and stir to distribute the flavor. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the rice heat through and slightly crisp at the bottom.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions.
Transfer the Winter Adzuki Fried Rice to serving bowls, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your winter-inspired comforting meal!
