Description
Make a quick, flavorful, and vegetable-forward gluten-free fried rice that works well for weeknight meals or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoon Sesame oil separated
- 1 small onion chopped (approximately 1 cup)
- 1 bunch green onion chopped, white part separated from greens
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Approx 2 cups cooked & cooled brown or white rice
- 2 cups finely chopped cauliflower rice OPTIONAL
- 2–3 cups chopped veggies ideas: broccoli, snow peas, carrots, greens, mushrooms, mung bean sprouts
- 2–3 tablespoon gluten free tamari
- 1/2– 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- Optional add ins: cooked chicken tofu, egg, nuts or seeds
Instructions
- Prepare cauliflower rice if using. If using pre-packaged, pulse in a food processor 4-5 times for finer pieces. If making from scratch, process cauliflower florets until rice-sized, then strain moisture using towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet.
- Sauté onion and the white part of the green onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add vegetables, including the greens of the green onion, and sauté until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the rice (and cauliflower rice if using), 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Stir well, breaking up clumps and coating with oil, about 3-5 minutes until the rice is heated and soft. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
- If adding egg, make a well in the center, spray with cooking oil, add lightly whisked eggs, and scramble. Alternatively, cook eggs separately and add later.
- Add tamari and vinegar. Mix well and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes, or longer for more tender vegetables.
- If the rice seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth and stir in.
- Taste and add salt, pepper, extra tamari, or rice wine vinegar as needed.
