Protein Stir-Fried Rice

Wholesome, comforting, and a simple way to boost your protein and veggies.

This isn’t your greasy takeout fried rice. It’s a lighter, feel-good version—packed with protein, colorful stir-fried veggies and boosted with fluffy scrambled eggs for even more protein. Add your favorite grilled chicken, steak, pork, tofu, or salmon.  You’ll get far more protein than if you ordered out (where there’s barely any protein or veggies!).

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked and cooled rice (brown, white, or cauliflower rice)

• 3 eggs, lightly beaten (for extra protein)

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

• 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

• 1 cup mixed veggies (like carrots, peas, broccoli, bell pepper)

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

• Optional toppings: sesame seeds, extra green onions, sriracha

Note: If cooking rice fresh, you’ll need about ⅔ cup uncooked rice to yield 2 cups cooked. For extra flavor, use Golden Basmati Rice with Bone Broth & Turmeric →.

Instructions

1. Prep your rice
Use pre-cooked and cooled rice for the best texture. (Day-old rice works great!)

2. Scramble the eggs
Quickly scramble the beaten eggs in a little butter, Miyoko’s plant-based butter, or tallow. Set aside.

3. Stir-fry the aromatics
In the same pan, heat the oil. Add the grated ginger and optional garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Stir-fry the veggies
Add the mixed veggies and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

5. Add rice and season
Add the cooled rice to the pan. Stir-fry everything together, breaking up any clumps. Drizzle with Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and sesame oil if using. Stir well.

6. Fold in the eggs
Gently fold the scrambled eggs back into the rice and veggie mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and pepper.

7. Serve and top with your favorite protein
Plate it up and add grilled chicken, steak, pork, tofu, or salmon on top for a complete meal.

Tips & Add-Ons

• Boost it further: Add cooked shrimp, shredded chicken, or a handful of edamame.

• Veggie swap: Mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, or asparagus also work beautifully.

• Finish strong: Top with sesame seeds, extra green onions, or a drizzle of sriracha for a little kick.

• Keep it hot: Stir-fry over medium-high heat for that signature “wok-tossed” flavor.

A cozy, colorful fried rice that leaves you feeling energized—not weighed down. 🥢✨ Plus, you’ll get way more protein and flavor than any takeout menu could ever promise.
