Equipment

  • Large skillet or Wok

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive or avocado oil
  • 1/2 large onion diced
  • 2 large carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 bunch broccolini trimmed and chopped
  • 1 pepper diced, I used Anaheim
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1-2 tbsp ghee or grass-fed butter
  • 1.5 cups rice I like organic basmati
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 lb grass-fed organic ground meat I used beef that’s seasoned, cooked & leftover from the night before
  • 1/2 tsp taco seasoning I like Siete
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp tamari gluten-free soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tsp sea salt

Toppings

  • Green onion chopped
  • Salt & pepper
  • Red chili flakes

Instructions

  • Note: If making fresh rice, cook according to instructions and timed so that it's ready to add where noted below.
    If making fresh ground meat, then at the same time as you add the veggies, season (if desired, or let the sauces in the fried rice season it at the end) and cook your raw, ground meat in a separate, heated skillet. Remember to continue stirring and breaking up the ground meat into similar size pieces as it’s cooking, to ensure the meat cooks evenly.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat oil on medium-hot. Add onion to cook for a minute. Add in all veggies, garlic and ginger, toss, and let cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add in rice and ghee, then stir, breaking up any chunks of leftover rice. Pour in sesame oil and tamari and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Create an empty cavity in the center of the pan, spray with oil, then crack in 2 eggs. Gently start whisking with your spatula and slowly start adding in the mixture to the eggs.
  • Once fully combined, pour in your ground meat (leftover, or cooked fresh), add salt and pepper, stir, add peas, and let cook for 5 more minutes on medium to high heat.
  • Once hot, it’s ready to serve. Top with green onion, cracked pepper, salt, if needed, and red chili flakes if using. Enjoy!
