Maya’s Soy-Free Gluten-Free Chinese Fried Rice |
This is what Chinese Fried Rice should taste like and I’m willing to say that even your family won’t realize the difference. Be forewarned; this dish does not taste soy-free and gluten-free so if you are cooking for a loved one with soy allergy or Celiac disease, they may need to see all the ingredients to believe you.
Ingredients
3.5 Cups cooked White Jasmine Rice (we have a rice cooker but if you don’t, simply make it yourself, taking away four tablespoons water from the recipe so that your rice is not too mushy and lends itself well to frying. The best frying rice is white jasmine rice that’s a day or two old from the fridge!)
1.5 Cups Broccoli
5 USDA Organic Eggs (I use Pete and Gerry’s)
7 Tbs Organic Raw Coconut Aminos Soy-Free Sauce
4 Tablespoons of sesame butter (I use 365 Everyday Value Tahini) or 1/2 tsp of cumin (if allergic to sesame)
3-4 Tbs Panda Brand Green Label Oyster Flavoured Sauce (make sure you get green label which has no MSG added and is gluten-free)
4 stalks of Organic Scallions (also known as Green Onions) (sliced fine)
2 Tbs Organic Shallots (minced)
1 small Organic Red Onion (chopped)
3-4 cloves fresh Organic Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
4 Tablespoons Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (this I get from my nearby Costco; it is the only olive oil I cook with and trust not to contain soy)
1/2 teaspoon and two pinches Celtic Sea Salt
Sprinkles of Bragg Nutritional Yeast
(adds a savory flavor but its optional)
Directions
In a small bowl, beat eggs, 2 Tbs sesame butter, 3 Tbs coconut aminos and two pinches of salt.

Do not overcook eggs! Keep them soft to add to frying rice later! |
In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallots and ginger.In another bowl, combine scallions and onions. Heat on low-medium 2 Tbs olive oil and 4 Tbs sesame butter in large wok or Teflon-coated saucepan. Add the garlic/shallot/ginger mixture and saute for 3-4 minutes until mixture seems to tenderize.
Add scallions and onions along with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Immediately add broccoli, 4 Tbs coconut aminos and rice. Fold all ingredients together several times and sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon of salt about a foot or two away from the pan so that salt doesn’t concentrate in one area. Turn down heat to low-medium and fold several more times so that all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and rice is uniformly tanned from the aminos and oyster sauce. Once your mixture pretty much looks like this and the green in the broccoli has brightened to a flaming green but are not overcooked and still have a nice snap to them when you bite in, add your scrambled eggs, break up with your spatula, toss and your fried rice is DONE! If you wish and want to round out the flavor, add a few sprinklings of Bragg’s Nutritious Yeast to send this recipe over the top!
