Ready to revolutionize your dinner routine? This healthy fried rice recipe is not just easy to whip up in a flash – it’s also brimming with flavors that will have you hooked in no time. And guess what? It’s table-ready in just 15 minutes!

Typically, traditional fried rice can be a bit of a guilty pleasure, loaded with unhealthy oils that taste great but are tough on your tummy. But fear not, my friends – I’ve revamped the classic dish, tweaking the ingredients and methods to make it much healthier for you.

Why call it Healthy Fried Rice?

Well, it’s not fried in the traditional sense, but “Healthy Un-Fried Veggie Rice” just didn’t sound as catchy, right? Despite the lighter approach, it retains all the beloved flavors of classic fried rice. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to repurpose any leftover cooked brown rice you might have lurking in your fridge.

This dish isn’t just tasty – it’s packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals. Your taste buds will celebrate, and your body will thank you later.

I’m thrilled to share my favorite recipes with you, and it means the world to see you enjoying them too!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil divided for cooking
3 large eggs whisked
1/2 cup green onions finely chopped (scallions), white and light green parts only
1/2 cup carrots julienned
1/2 cup peas frozen
2 cups precooked brown rice
3 tablespoons gluten-free tamari or low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Heat half the avocado oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper; pour into the pan, scrambling until just set. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan; sauté green onions and carrots for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the peas, cooked rice, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger, mixing well to combine and heat through.
Fold the scrambled eggs back into the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
