Scrambled eggs are combined with rice, carrots, and green onions in this Low FODMAP Chinese Fried Rice recipe.
Last week’s Sesame Chicken with Spinach got me craving more Chinese food. I remembered that I always used to make fried rice for my lunches and decided to try making a low-FODMAP version. It turned out pretty tasty, so I thought I would share it.
Traditional fried rice recipes usually have green peas and onion. For this Low-FODMAP version, I used green onion (also called scallion) tops to replace the flavor of the onion and the color of the green peas. Green onion tops always provide a lot of fresh flavor to dishes and are low in FODMAPs. Although I used cooking spray, you could scramble the eggs in some garlic-infused oil to give the dish some garlic flavor. That would be delicious!
Most fried rice recipes call for only a couple of eggs, but I like to use more eggs to get more protein in my diet. This fried rice is seasoned with gluten-free tamari sauce and toasted sesame oil. I didn’t really measure how much salt and pepper I used, I just added until it tasted good. You can also add some sauteed chicken to make this Chicken Fried Rice. I hope you enjoy this Low FODMAP Chinese Fried Rice!

WOW, this fried rice is so good! I added chicken cooked in coconut oil, and I wish I had green onions in my fridge because I think that's all it needs to be perfect. I hope you don't mind- I plan on raving about this recipe on my own blog and will link back here. fodmapfriendlyandfit.blogspot.com
