Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Peas, frozen
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Directions
Step 1
Break up the cooked jasmine rice with a fork to remove any clumps and ensure it is cooled before using.
Step 2
In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and diced carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the carrots start to soften.
Step 4
Add in the peas and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
Step 6
If using chicken, add it to the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir well to combine with the vegetables, chicken, and eggs.
Step 8
Pour the tamari and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Sprinkle the salt and white pepper, then stir-fry everything together for about 4-5 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors and heat thoroughly.
Step 9
Finally, add the sliced green onions and continue to stir-fry for an additional minute.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve hot as a main dish or alongside your favorite gluten-free Chinese dishes.
