Fried rice – Gluten-free version

Cooked, cold rice (usually from the day before) stir-fried over very high heat in a wok or large skillet, after finely chopped hard vegetables (carrot, cabbage) and sometimes chicken cubes; eggs scrambled at the side of the pan, and finally gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil and green onion. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari).

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a wok over very high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡Very high heat and a large pan: the vegetables char instead of steaming, and don't overcrowd the pan.
  2. 2
    Add the carrot and fry 3 minutes, tossing.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Push everything to the sides, pour the beaten the eggs into the center and scramble into small bits.
    StoveSilicone spatula
    💡The eggs scramble on their own in the empty center of the pan and only then get mixed in: that way they stay in bits and don't coat the rice in mush.
  4. 4
    Add the garlic and fry 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  5. 5
    Add the cold rice, separate the grains with a spatula and stir-fry 2–3 minutes over high heat.
    StoveSilicone spatula
    💡Cold, dry day-old rice stays in separate grains; hot fresh rice releases steam and starch and sticks together in a lump.
  6. 6
    Add the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil and stir-fry another minute, until the rice is coated in the sauce.
    Stove
  7. 7
    Serve immediately.
