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:  30 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 4 cups coconut rice, cooked (note 1)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 green onions, minced, dark and light part separated
  • ΒΌ cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

Method

  1. In a large skillet over medium high heat add in oil. Once oil is glistening add in white and light green onions, coconut flakes and ginger. Cook, stirring often until coconut flakes begin to brown, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add in the coconut rice and stir until the rice is coated in oil. Spread out in a single layer and allow to cook, undisturbed, until rice begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Stir in dark green onions and cook for 1 more minute.

  3. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.

Note 1: Prepare the coconut rice ahead of time. Preferably the day before. Day-old rice is firmer than freshly made. This decreases the chances of your fried rice grains sticking together or turning out mushy.
