How to Make This Vegetable Fried Rice:

  1. Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil, along with the minced ginger, garlic and scallion (or onion). Sauté for about 30-40 seconds while constantly stirring.
  2. Next add the rice and allow this to fry for about 3-4 minutes before adding the frozen veggies.
  3. Stir to ensure the frozen veggies and rice are fully incorporated, then add the sesame oil, ponzu sauce (or soy sauce) and chili sauce.
  4. Stir and fry the rice for about 3-4 more minutes, or until the frozen veggies are fully thawed, then scoot the rice to the outer edges of the pan (creating a well of sorts) and carefully crack each egg into the middle of the pan.
  5. Gently scramble the eggs in the middle of the pan until fully cooked through and add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Fully incorporate the scrambled eggs with the fried rice and check for seasoning.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat, plate and enjoy!
