• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Green beans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0 optional Salt (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it turns translucent.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, green beans, peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still retain some crunch.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. If needed, add an additional drizzle of oil to the empty side.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice to the empty side of the pan. Stir gently to break up any clumps.

Step 7

Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari over the rice and mix well to combine the rice and vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Add the sesame oil, freshly ground black pepper, and salt (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
