# Ingredients:

→ 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.
