YIELD
1 serving

Ingredients

Avocado oil
1/2 Tbsp
Diced carrots
1/3 cup
Diced green beans
3 Tbsp
Diced onion or shallots
1 Tbsp
Diced green scallions

Leftover cooked rice

Less sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp

1/2 tsp
Dark soy sauce (optional, for coloring)
1/2 Tbsp

 

Directions

  1. HEAT a nonstick pan on medium-high heat, and ADD avocado oil.
  2. ADD all vegetable ingredients. STIR to cook until the vegetables have somewhat softened (adjust cooking time depending on how crunchy you like your vegetables in fried rice).
  3. ADD egg to the pan of vegetables and SCRAMBLE until the egg is almost cooked through. You may either beat the egg in a separate bowl and pour it into the pan or simply crack the egg into the pan and quickly scramble.
  4. ADD leftover cooked rice. ADD soy sauce, sesame oil, and dark soy sauce (if using) and STIR until evenly combined. TRANSFER fried rice onto a plate or bowl and serve!

 


Insider Tips

  • In Chinese cooking, regular soy sauce (sometimes called light soy sauce) is used for flavoring, as it is quite savory. Dark soy sauce is much milder in taste (and level of saltiness) and is typically used to add dark, gorgeous caramel color to dishes.
