This Fried Wild Rice has all of the great flavors of traditional fried rice, but it is grain-free!
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced (be sure NOT to discard the roots)
  • 1 inch of ginger, peeled and grated
  • leftover cooked green veggies, cut up (I used leftover roasted broccolini)
  • 3 oz baby spinach
  • 1 cup raw wild rice, cooked
  • 1-1/2 Tbs coconut aminos
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, scallions, and ginger and stir 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in any leftover cooked veggies you have.
  3. Also stir in the roots of the scallions -- these are awesome for your immune system!
  4. Add the spinach and stir just until it starts to wilt.
  5. Stir in the wild rice and the aminos.
  6. Add the frozen peas and stir until warmed through.
  7. Stir in the beaten eggs -- stir quickly and well so the eggs don't scramble too much. Continue to cook, stirring, until the eggs are cooked and completely incorporated into the wild rice, about 3 minutes.
  8. Enjoy!
