Our second through fifth graders recently made fried rice in gardening class, and as often happens when we do cooking lessons, parents have been eager to know what “the secret ingredient” was that made their children so excited about a healthy dish. Of course the real “secret” is that they were involved in the cooking, and often the growing and harvesting! But here are the ingredients, in case you want to recreate the dish at home:
jasmine rice
red, orange, and yellow bell pepper
one sweet onion
one egg
5–7 cloves of garlic
carrots
green onion
ginger root grated or very finely diced
green peas (frozen is fine)
gluten free soy sauce
coconut aminos
sesame oil
olive oil
garlic powder
black pepper
salt
Sauté one onion and 5-7 garlic cloves in sesame and olive oil on low heat until browned. Add in diced carrots and diced bell pepper. Once cooked through, add the rice, egg, and all of the seasonings.
