The Perfect Rice
This Asian-style stir fry is protein packed and loaded with flavor. We’ve updated the classic fried rice recipe by adding in our secret ingredient–quinoa.
Like any good recipe, it all depends on the right ingredients.
The long-grain Jasmine rice and quinoa are a perfect combination for fried rice because, when cooked, they remain separate and do not clump together like short or medium grain rice does. This helps each grain to brown evenly, making for a more flavorful meal!
Recipe Tips
Use our long-grain Jasmine Brown Rice if you want to make this 100% Whole Grain.
Make it vegetarian by simply omitting the chicken or subbing in tofu.
This recipe can be made using a wok or skillet. A wok helps to distribute the heat evenly to all of the ingredients, making for a more flavorful dish in less time.
