Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice (or any long-grain rice)
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 0.5 cups Frozen peas
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (make sure it's vegan)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing all the ingredients: dice the carrot and bell pepper, mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, and measure out the frozen peas and other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain a bit of crunch.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil into the center. Add the cooked jasmine rice, and gently break up any clumps with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the soy sauce, salt, and ground white pepper (if using) evenly over the rice. Mix thoroughly to combine the rice with the vegetables and seasoning. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes to ensure everything is well heated and coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Add the chopped green onions and give the fried rice one final toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately as is, or pair it with your favorite vegan dish. Enjoy!
