Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

This Indonesian-inspired fried rice is elevated with the flavors of ginger, garlic, honey, and lime juice. Peanuts stirred in at the end give it a nice crunch. It was a meal that got high reviews back when we first featured it in 2018.

Remove cover and stir in rice. Toss everything together and cook for 1 minute more.
Remove rice from heat and cover to keep warm.
