Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 piece Large egg
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt-free seasoning blend (e.g., Mrs. Dash Original or similar)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Step 2
Crack the egg into the skillet and scramble, cooking until just set. Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through.
Step 5
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and stir it into the vegetables.
Step 6
Pour in the low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and rice vinegar, stirring to coat the rice evenly.
Step 7
Season the rice with the salt-free seasoning blend and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors.
Step 8
Return the scrambled egg to the skillet and stir it into the rice along with the sliced green onions.
Step 9
Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid and develop a slight crisp on the bottom.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium white fried rice!
