Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked Jasmine rice (cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Carrots (diced)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your ingredients by dicing the carrots, slicing the green onions, and mincing the garlic.
Step 2
Use pre-cooked Jasmine rice that has been cooled completely. Refrigerated rice works best for fried rice as it reduces moisture and prevents clumping.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season lightly with a pinch of salt, and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the cooked eggs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet, then add the diced carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooled rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and spread the rice evenly in the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to heat the rice and allow it to absorb the flavors.
Step 7
Add the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.
Step 8
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix them into the rice. Add the sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Special Fried Rice as a standalone meal or as a side dish!
