Description
Easy Fried Rice (Vegan, GF). My kids swear it tastes just like it’s from a Chinese restaurant. But healthier. And cheaper.
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups steamed rice (try brown, jasmine or basmati)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (omit to keep this oil-free)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
- 1–2 cloves fresh, minced garlic
- 1/2 diced onion (or 1 teaspoon granulated onion powder)
- 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari sauce, coconut aminos or soy sauce
- Optional: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, cashews, sliced almonds
Instructions
- Add the oil or water, carrots, peas, garlic and onion (or onion powder) to a medium-sized pan.
- Saute for about 5 minutes until the carrots and onions have softened a bit.
- Add the tamari or soy sauce and mix.
- Add the rice and combine until everything is heated through.
- Top with green onions, sesame seeds or nuts if you like.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If you can’t eat soy, you can substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce or tamari sauce. They are a bit sweet and not as salty as soy or tamari sauce. If so, add some salt and pepper to taste.
For a tropical twist, add a half-cup of diced pineapple.
For a more fulsome meal, add some cubed, sauteed tofu.
