Ingredients

• 2 cups white jasmine rice
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 2

In a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil. Heat over medium-high, then add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until they start to soften. Then add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cooled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Keep stirring until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with soy sauce.

Step 6

Mix in the cooked eggs, chopped green onions, and diced chicken (if using). Stir everything to combine and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Riz Cantonais!
