Ingredients

• 3 cups Jasmine rice (cooked and cooled)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 medium Shallot (finely chopped)
• 2 Eggs (beaten)
• 1 medium Carrot (diced)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce substitute (for soy-free)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Coconut sugar
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped cashews (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by ensuring the jasmine rice is fully cooked and cooled. Using leftover rice works best for this recipe.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the garlic and shallot to one side of the pan, then add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix them with the garlic and shallots.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet, then stir in the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and frozen peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 6

Add the cooled jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and stirring to combine with the vegetables and eggs.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy-free fish sauce substitute, lime juice, and coconut sugar. Pour this mixture over the rice and stir well to evenly coat.

Step 8

Season the fried rice with black pepper to taste and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped green onions and optional fresh cilantro for added flavor.

Step 10

Plate the rice and garnish with chopped cashews, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
