Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice, chilled (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
  • 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots blend
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons low -sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 green onions , thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set; immediately remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the same pan. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the frozen peas and carrots. Sauté for 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and fragrant.
  • Increase the heat to high. Add the chilled brown rice to the pan, using a spatula to break up any large clumps.
  • Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and toasted sesame oil evenly over the rice. Toss continuously for 3 to 4 minutes to ensure the rice is well-coated and slightly toasted.
  • Add the scrambled eggs and black pepper back into the pan. Stir for 1 minute to incorporate all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
