Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
4 large eggs
1 small onion (finely diced)
2 stalks celery (finely diced)
2 carrots (peeled and finely diced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups cauli-rice
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

Method

Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook until just scrambled, then remove and set aside. Wipe skillet clean.
Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, 1/2 tsp salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 10-12 minutes until softened, stirring often.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the cooked brown rice and cauli-rice. Cook for about 5 minutes, until heated through and cauli-rice softens.
Add peas and tamari. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cooked eggs, breaking them into bite-sized pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade fried rice!

Notes

– Use day-old cooked rice for best texture; it’s drier and less likely to clump.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary for maximum crispiness.
– Feel free to add other vegetables like peas, corn, or edamame.
