Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white rice soaked*
  • 4 Tbsp avocado oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 large carrot peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the white rice 15 minutes. Drain. Add water, 1 tablespoon of oil, ¼ tsp sea salt, and ground turmeric. Cover, bring to a full boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook 10 to 15 minutes according to package instructions. If you're using leftover cooked rice, skip this step and add the turmeric in step 3.
  2. While the rice is cooking, sauté the vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of oil to a skillet and add the chopped carrot, bell pepper, and green onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the green beans and cooked chicken and cook until heated through. Add the cooked rice and stir well.
  4. Scramble the eggs in a separate skillet and stir into the fried rice. Serve alongside your favorite entrée.

Notes

  • *Or use 4 cups of cooked white rice.
