- 1 cup green peas, frozen or fresh
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the jasmine rice is cooked and cooled. Rice that has been chilled overnight is ideal for fried rice as it is less sticky.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil, stirring continuously to avoid burning, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add diced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 5
Mix in the green peas, continue to cook for another 2 minutes until peas are bright green and tender.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high, add the cooked jasmine rice to the vegetable mixture, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
Step 7
Stir-fry the rice and vegetables together for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through and well combined with the vegetables.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium, drizzle the sesame oil evenly over the rice, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 9
Mix in the sliced green onions and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your soy-free garlic fried rice.
