Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
• 3 eggs (scrambled and chopped into bite sized pieces)
• 4 cups Minute Read to Serve Whole Grain Brown Rice
• 3 cups cooked protein (cut into bite sized pieces (I used calamari and shrimp))
• 1 medium bell pepper (diced)
• 8 scallion (sliced thinly (set aside 2 tablespoons for garnish))
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, agave nectar and cumin.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the canola oil, garlic, scallions, ginger and red bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the veggies soften.

4. 4

   Add the rice into the pan, along with the soy sauce mixture. Cook the rice for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the soy sauce to absorb into the rice.

5. 5

   Add the cooked protein and scrambled eggs, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, tossing occasionally.

6. 6

   Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with the remaining chopped scallions.

   Serve immediately.
