Ingredients

• 3 cups Jasmine rice, cooked and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Green peas, frozen and thawed
• 0.5 large Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Finely dice the carrot and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently until just set. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced carrot and cook for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 5

Stir in the thawed green peas and continue to cook for another minute.

Step 6

Add the cooked and cooled jasmine rice to the skillet. Gently break up any clumps of rice with a spatula and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, allowing it to heat through.

Step 7

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, stirring them into the rice and vegetable mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, ground black pepper, and toasted sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve the Low Sodium Fried Rice with Egg warm and enjoy!
