Healthy Fried Rice
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken, tofu or protein of choice optional
- 2 cups prepared rice day old works best
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 4 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce cub sub coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp sliced green onions to garnish optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook your protein of choice and rice then set aside. I love using Banza rice for extra protein, but regular rice works great too! You can also sub a cup of rice with a cup of cauliflower rice if you’d like.
- Sauté the veggies and garlic in a tbsp of avocado oil in a pan, tossing around for a few minutes. Push everything to one side to make room for the eggs.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk with a fork, then pour into the open spot in the pan, scrambling as they cook.
- Once cooked, mix the veggies and eggs together and add in the chicken/protein and then the rice.
- Once everything is mixed together, add soy sauce and mix until completely covered. Add salt and pepper to your liking and cook until the rice gets a tiny bit crispy.
- Spoon the rice into your takeout container (or bowl like a normal person) and top with green onions.
