Egg Fried Rice with Sweet Coconut Aminos Sauce

Yield: 6 servings (1 1/2 cups)

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For Sweet Soy Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos, plus more to taste
  • 2–4 tablespoons brown sugar or pure maple syrup (depends on how sweet you want it)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Fried Rice:

  • 2–4 tablespoons avocado or olive oil, divided
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 – 1 1/2 cups finely chopped broccoli
  • 1 – 1 1/2 cups finely chopped carrots
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups cooked, cold brown rice*

*For best texture, cook the rice ahead of time and let it get cold in the fridge. You can also replace all or part of the rice with cooked, drained cauliflower rice or white rice.

Instructions

Note before beginning: This recipe goes fast once you start cooking. Be sure to cook and refrigerate the rice ahead of time, beat the eggs, and pre-chop the veggies. Have them waiting next to the skillet.

  1. Make Sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a small pot. Warm over medium-low heat until butter melts. Keep warm over low heat while moving to next steps.
  2. Cook Eggs: Add the eggs to a small mixing bowl or glass measuring cup and whisk until beaten. Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch) skillet (preferably non-stick) over medium-high heat until shimmery. Pour in the beaten eggs. Cook for 2 minutes or until set, stirring frequently and breaking up the eggs into small pieces. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  3. Saute Veggies: Wipe pan out and add 1-2 tablespoons more oil to pan. Once the oil is shimmery, saute the broccoli and carrots until tender, about 4-6 minutes, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper as they cook. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. 
  4. Combine: Turn down the heat to medium. Gently stir in the peas, rice, and eggs. Drizzle the sauce over the rice and toss to combine. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to “fry” the rice. Stir once more and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve: Taste and add more salt and pepper or soy sauce, if desired. Stir until everything is warmed through and serve.
