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
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add peas and tamari. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cooked eggs, breaking them into bite-sized pieces.
  5. 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.
