- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Ensure the rice is cooled and preferably a day old for best results. Fresh rice may result in a mushy texture.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the diced carrots to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Stir in the green peas and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing them to heat through.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps.
Step 7
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and vegetables, stirring well to combine and evenly coat the rice.
Step 8
Add the chopped green onions, toasted sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce or salt to preference.
Step 10
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot as a main dish or side, and enjoy your delicious vegan garlic fried rice!
