Plant-based, oil-free simple fried rice 💚
Unlearning cooking habits is hard, but it's worth it. I now realize that starting by slashing oil is really front-loading the hard part and paving the way to real enjoyment of more whole foods.
It's not that I don't go off the beaten path a lot, like, I used toasted sesame flour in this instead of toasted sesame oil that I might have used for many years. But, my brain kept going to places like "ginger, fried rice definitely has ginger, and of course soy sauce, maybe dark, too. Also, what am I missing?" until I finally just said: full stop. Let's just do something simple. A warm, satisfying meal with minimal effort on this blustery day!

Jasmine rice, leftover chilled
White onion, diced
