Notes
*Feel free to use any type of cooking oil you have on hand. Be it olive, coconut, canola etc.
**You can use any onion of choice. Red onion and green onions are most flavourful with this fried rice.
***You can substitute brown rice with white rice but I guarantee you brown tastes better and it’s the healthier option.
****I prefer the light soy sauce to dark soy sauce with this recipe. Feel free to even try the mushroom soy sauce or even tamari if you are on a gluten free diet.
*****You can substitute chives with cilantro (dania) or parsley. Choose your garnish!
