Vegetarian Recipe | Extra Vegetable Fried Rice

Extra Vegetable Fried Rice

1 ½ teaspoons + 2 tablespoons avocado oil or safflower oil, divided
2 eggs, whisked together
1 small white onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 medium carrots, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
2 cups additional veggies, cut into very small pieces for quick cooking (see photos for size reference; options include snow peas, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, and/or fresh or frozen peas—no need to thaw first)
¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
1 tablespoon grated or finely minced fresh ginger
2 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes

  1. This recipe comes together quickly. Before you get started, make sure that all of your ingredients are prepped and within an arm’s reach from the stove. Also have an empty bowl nearby for holding the cooked eggs and veggies. I’m suggesting that you start over medium-high heat, but if at any point you catch a whiff of oil or food burning, reduce the heat to medium.
  2. Warm a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until a few drops of water evaporate within a couple of seconds. Immediately add 1 ½ teaspoons of oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Add the scrambled eggs and swirl the pan so they cover the bottom. Cook until they are just lightly set, flipping or stirring along the way. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and wipe out the pan with a heat-proof spatula.
  3. Return the pan to heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
