Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked white rice
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the cooked rice is cooled or day-old to prevent it from being mushy.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly. Set aside.

Step 3

Chop the green onions into small pieces, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 4

Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they're thawed and tender.

Step 9

Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients and break up any rice clumps.

Step 10

Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to evenly distribute the sauces.

Step 11

Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, mixing everything thoroughly.

Step 12

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 13

Garnish with the green parts of the green onions just before serving.
