Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Jasmine rice
• 3 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 0.5 cup, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 cup, diced Cooked chicken breast
• 2 large, beaten Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables and proteins. In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the carrot is slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper and frozen peas, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs on the other side. Scramble the eggs and cook until just set, then mix them with the vegetables.

Step 7

Add the diced cooked chicken breast to the skillet and stir everything to combine. Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, and gently stir to combine all ingredients. Sprinkle in the ground black pepper and chopped green onions.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and all ingredients are well mixed. Taste and adjust with more low sodium soy sauce if needed.

Step 10

Serve the low sodium Riz Cantonais hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
