Your weeknight leftovers just got a major upgrade. Not only is my Quick & Easy Healthy Fried Rice and delicious dish for anytime of day, but it's the perfect way to get some extra life out of leftover rice and/or veggies. Plus, this recipe happens to be gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly. It truly is the perfect meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Equipment
- 1 Wok I love this wok!
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Leftover Rice
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil or substitute other neutral oil
- 3 Eggs lightly beaten
- 1 Sausage/Meat stick of choice optional. I recommend a Chomps meat stick, but leave out if vegetarian
- 1 Tablespoon Butter or Ghee
- 1 Medium Onion diced
- 2 Tablespoons Ginger finely grated or chopped
- ¼ Cup Green Onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Tamari or Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
Instructions
- Start by adding your avocado oil to a saucepan or wok and heat over high heat.
- While the pan is heating, crack your eggs into a bowl and beat them together.
- Once the oil is very hot, place your eggs into the pan, along with the chopped meat/sausage (if using), and gently scramble. They should sizzle!
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are done, being sure to use a wooden spoon or spatula to break them up into smaller pieces as they cook.
- Once the eggs are done, place them on a plate and set aside.
- Next, add your butter or ghee to the pan and then add in your onion and ginger. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Then, add the rice to the pan, along with the eggs and green onion, and mix well.
- Add the tamari and sesame oil and stir to coat everything well.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes, being sure to push the mixture around quickly so the rice doesnt crisp up too much.
- Taste and add more tamari or sesame oil as desired.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!
