Method
Rice & Beans
- 1
If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and separate the grains; you should have about 2 cups of cooked rice ready to fry.
- 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; swirl to coat.
- 3
Add 1/2 cup diced white onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- 4
Stir in 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and cook 30 seconds to bloom the spices, coating the onions and garlic.
- 5
Add 1/2 cup diced carrot, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper, and 1/2 cup peas; stir-fry 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 6
Add the 2 cups cooked rice; break up any clumps with the back of a spatula and stir to combine with vegetables.
- 7
Pour in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and toss until the rice is evenly seasoned; taste and adjust with more soy sauce if desired.
- 8
Fold in 2 chopped green onions and, if using, the lime juice; toss once and remove from heat.
- 9
Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish and serve as a flavorful side to jerk mains or grilled proteins.
