Ingredients
- 21 oz cooked white rice see Tip 1
- 2 large eggs whisked
- 7 oz carrots grated
- ½ red onion peeled and finely chopped
- ½ cup peas using frozen is fine
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped (optional)
- 3 green onions sliced
- 3 TB unsalted butter
- 2 TB tamari gluten-free soy sauce, see Tip 2
- 2 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Have your cooked rice ready, along with your whisked eggs, grated carrots, chopped red onion, peas, garlic, and sliced salad onions.
- Start with the egg: simply melt half the butter over moderate heat in a large non-stick pan or wok. Add the whisked egg and cook until they scramble to your liking. Set the cooked eggs aside in a bowl.
- Melt the remaining butter in the same pan and add carrots, red onion, peas, garlic, and only half the salad onions. Cook, stirring regularly over moderately high heat, until the carrots and onions soften.
- Once softened, tip in the rice and reserved cooked egg. Add the tamari and cook, stirring regularly, until all the elements have sufficiently warmed through.
- Drizzle over the sesame oil and serve immediately, garnished with the remaining salad onions.
Notes
Tip 1: If you prefer to live low carb, replace the cooked rice with blitzed cauliflower.
Tip 2: If you have soy allergies, try using coconut aminos, which offers a similar flavor.
