This Healthy Vegetable Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce is one of my go-to lunches and dinners throughout the week. It’s easy to make, healthy and you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand!
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large sauté non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add egg, and cook until scrambled. Then transfer scrambled eggs to a plate.
Add 1 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan. Add bell pepper, jalapeño, onion and carrots and season with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables soften.
Add peas, green onions, garlic and ginger and cook for another minute. Add remaining tablespoon of oil, rice, coconut aminos and stir until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan and fry for about 2-3 minutes without touching so the rice can crisp up on the bottom. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes or longer until you can see the rice crisp up. Then add in the eggs and stir to combine. Taste and season with extra coconut aminos or salt if needed.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the fried rice with a drizzle of yum yum sauce and fresh green onions if desired.
