Base Ingredients

2 cups Cooked Rice

2 tbs Tuscany sunflower oil

Vegetables

1 medium Carrot, diced

1 cup Peas

3 stalks Green onions, chopped

1 medium Bell pepper, diced

Flavoring

3 tbs Aged soy sauce

1 tbs Toasted sesame oil

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

Optional Ingredients

2 large Eggs, beaten

1 cup Cooked Chicken or Shrimp, diced

Method

Preparation

Prepare Rice

If not using leftover rice, cook rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely before using.

Chop Vegetables

Dice the carrot, bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Set all vegetables aside.

Cooking

Heat Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook Vegetables

Add the diced carrot and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in the peas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add Rice

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir everything together and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to get slightly crispy.

Flavor the Rice

Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the rice and vegetables are evenly coated.

Add Optional Ingredients

If using, push the rice to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice. If adding chicken or shrimp, toss them in now and stir until heated through.

Serving

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious fried rice!
