This dish is a perfect year-round vegetarian fried rice recipe since cabbage is plentiful even in the dark of winter. The ratio of vegetables to rice makes it a fantastic healthy spin on classic Chinese takeout and it's gluten-free to boot!
In a nonstick wok or large skillet, heat the oil. Add the shallot, carrots and cabbage and stir-fry over high heat until the vegetables are softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir-fry until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Push the fried rice to the side of the pan to create a well. Pour the eggs into the well and cook, stirring gently, until nearly cooked. Toss the fried rice with the eggs and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tamari, lime juice and scallions. Transfer the fried rice to bowls and serve.
Notes
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook 1 1/2 cups raw long-grain rice until al dente. Drain and use right away or refrigerate.
To make this recipe low FODMAP, omit the shallot, reduce the cabbage to 3 cups, and use only the green part of the scallion.
