Fried rice is one of the most versatile dishes in my opinion. You can pretty much add anything you’d like in it. Carrots, onions, greens, peas. It has savory umami flavor from the coconut aminos and mirin. Mixed with a oozy egg on top, perfection. I like to consider this a breakfast rice because the egg is made separately and not scrambled in the rice but honestly this dish is perfect for any meal.

Notes
Mirin is a sweet rice wine used in Japanese cooking. You can find it at most grocery stores in the ethnic food isle.
Coconut Aminos is very similar to soy sauce. It is gluten and soy free. It is made from the fermented sap of the coconut palm.
Day old cold cooked rice is the best rice to make fried rice with because it is hard and a lot of the water has already been absorbed so it wont be mushy.
