Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice (uncooked)
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 1/2 cups peas (I use frozen)
  • 1 cup sweet corn (I use frozen)
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 3 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the rice ahead of time according to package instructions. When cool, transfer to a sealed container in the fridge to chill for a couple hours/overnight.*
  2. Dice carrots, bell pepper, onion, and mince garlic.
  3. In a large wok or pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp. sesame oil. Let heat for a minute.
  4. When oil is hot, carefully add onion, carrots, and bell pepper. Stirring often, sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add peas and corn. Cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  7. Add rice and 3 Tbsp. tamari (more/less as needed). Stirring occasionally, cook for about 5 minutes. Serve with additional tamari or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • *Chilling the rice: You can skip the chilling step, but I find it results in better (and less mushy) fried rice.
  • For gluten-free: Use GF tamari.
