Coconut Fried Rice

a bowl of homemade coconut fried rice made with coconut rice, green onions, ginger, coconut oil and sweetened coconut flakes
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
  • ¼ cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 4 cups cooked Coconut Rice, preferably day-old

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the green onion, coconut flakes, and ginger. Cook, stirring often until the coconut flakes begin to brown, about 4 minutes. 
  2. Add the coconut rice and stir until the rice is coated in oil. Spread the rice evenly on the bottom of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the rice begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Stir the rice, then continue to cook, undisturbed, until slightly crispy, another 2 to 3 minutes. 
  3. Divide the rice into bowls and garnish with additional green onion before serving.
