In my opinion, breakfast is one of one of the easiest meals for my wife to eat gluten free. There’s eggs, bacon, sausage, hash, and more. There are so many options in a meal usually filled with breads and pastries. For a new way to have eggs, bacon and sausage make Gluten Free Breakfast Fried Rice. It’s easy, flavorful, and a new breakfast idea you need to try.
Gluten Free Breakfast Fried Rice
Fried rice is a favorite at Asian restaurants. In addition to the rice, it’s got a great blend of meat, veggies and in lots of cases, eggs.
Why not swap out that chicken or roast pork for Bacon and/or sausage. Keep the eggs and add vegetables that go well in omelets. Add some gluten free soy sauce, ginger and sesame and you’ve transformed a typical lunch or dinner side dish into your morning meal!
Gluten Free Breakfast Fried Rice Recipe Tips
What Rice Should You Use – Use leftover rice or rice cooked the day prior for this recipe. The rice dries out some allowing for better results. Use your favorite variety of rice. White, Brown, Jasmine, or Basmati all work great.
Additional Vegetables – Use the vegetables you like in the rice. Diced mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, frozen peas, and celery all work well in this recipe. Additional Vegetables should be added to the pan with the onions and peppers.
Gluten Free Soy Sauce – Adjust the Gluten Free Soy Sauce amount to taste. Start with 2-3 tablespoons and adjust as needed.
Ginger – Used fresh or dried ginger in the recipe
Toppers – Top the Breakfast fried rice with sliced green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sriracha, or even a fried egg!
As easy as finding gluten free breakfast options is, it’s good to switch it up and try something new. I hope you give Gluten Free Breakfast Fried Rice a try the next time you’re looking for breakfast ideas.
