→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups cooked, day-old rice
02 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
03 -
3 large eggs, beaten
04 -
1 small onion, diced
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 cup mixed frozen vegetables, thawed
07 -
3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
08 -
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
09 -
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the rice is cooked and chilled. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and thaw the frozen vegetables for even cooking.
02 -
Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, pour in the beaten eggs, and stir gently until just cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Using the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
04 -
Add the day-old rice to the pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to develop a crispy texture. Stir and repeat the process for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking up any clumps.
05 -
Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce around the edges of the pan to allow it to caramelize slightly. Stir in the toasted sesame oil for added depth of flavor.
06 -
Return the cooked eggs to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces. Toss in the thawed vegetables and stir until everything is evenly mixed and heated through.
07 -
Top with freshly sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free fried rice immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Use day-old rice to prevent your dish from becoming mushy. Fresh rice can be too soft for frying.
02 -
Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari ensures this dish is safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
