Ingredients for Healthy Fried Rice

Ingredients for fried rice sesame oil carrots rice scallions peas and eggs and coconut aminos — Simple healthy ingredients....

Pre- Cooked White Rice - For this recipe I used Nishiki medium grain white rice. You can use brown rice if you prefer. I prefer to use white rice as they say brown rice may contain trace amounts of arsenic, a toxin that is absorbed from soil depending on where it is grown. White rice has less arsenic contamination because its outer layer is removed.

Organic Shredded Carrots - I like the Cal-Organic brand which you can get on Amazon. The organic shredded rainbow carrots are fun for a burst of color.

Sesame Oil - Kadoya Sesame Oil is my favorite. Sesame oil is made from sesame seeds and has a nice nutty, earthy flavor. It is full of antioxidants which may help in reducing your risk of developing chronic diseases.

Organic Coconut Aminos - You can use soy sauce for this recipe but I prefer Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos as it has significantly less salt than soy sauce and tastes just as good. Better for your heart health in the long run.

How to make Copycat Chinese Fried Rice

1: First make a batch of white rice. You need 3 cups for this recipe. I like to make a little extra in my rice cooker. For 4 cups of white rice you need 1 ½ cups of white rice and 2 cups of water.

Can you freeze leftover fried rice?

Yes you can freeze your leftovers. Just like cooked rice, it's important to first cool fried rice as quickly as possible in the fridge.
