Fried Rice–Gluten/Soy/Dairy Free!

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 Tbsp. Earth Balance, divided
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 small white onion, diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper
• 4 cups cooked and chilled brown rice
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced (I use kitchen sheers to cut them)
• 3-4 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos sauce, or more to taste
• 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

DIRECTIONS:

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of Earth Balance in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add egg, and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer to a separate plate.

Add an additional 1 tablespoon Earth Balance to the pan and heat until melted. Add carrots, onion, peas and garlic, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft. Increase heat to high, add in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of Earth Balance , and stir until melted. Immediately add the rice, green onions, soy sauce  and stir until combined. Continue stirring for an additional 3 minutes to fry the rice. Then add in the eggs and stir to combine. Add the sesame oil, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
