Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 can (14 oz) Hearts of palm, drained and shredded
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup Green peas, frozen
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 teaspoons Seaweed flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Drain and shred the hearts of palm into a crab-like texture. Dice the carrot finely and slice the green onions.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the skillet, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded hearts of palm, seaweed flakes, and lemon juice, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 3 minutes until the hearts of palm are heated through and starting to brown slightly.
Step 5
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice with the vegetable mixture for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Add the frozen peas and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 7
Add the sliced green onions, black pepper, and salt, stirring well to distribute throughout the rice.
Step 8
Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Step 9
Remove the fried rice from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with extra green onions or seaweed flakes if desired.
