This fried rice is such a refreshing meal. To make it you’ll need leeks, scallions, red bells, carrots, fresh ginger, sea salt, coconut sugar, Jasmine rice, and organic pasture-raised eggs. Make it your own by adding your fave veggies, coconut aminos (if tolerated), or fresh garlic. Just leave out the eggs if you want to keep it V.
***You’ll cook the jasmine rice beforehand, refrigerate it, then use it to make this recipe. Preparing the coconut oil rice this way increases resistant starch, which feeds good gut bugs and creates a much smaller glucose spike. ***
