Easy Fried Rice Recipe
The versatility of fried rice is one of the things that makes it such a winner in my book! Add basically anything you want, adjust quantities to please AND you can make it ahead or in pieces and combine later; a mom’s best friend for sure!

Stir Fry Rice
I make fried rice variations often, it’s a great way to use up bits and bobs you have on hand or make up a large batch to help out your weekly menu. This tandoori fried rice recipe however has got to be my favorite! It doesn’t contain my first love, bacon, but the flavors are amazing and I love the bigger chunks of meat in this.
Soy Free Fried Rice
This healthy fried rice recipe is made soy free by using a combination of coconut aminos which is sweeter than soy sauce and fish sauce which brings the saltiness. The combination is healthy, clean and allergen-free!
Wild Game Meat Recipes
Venison sausage is used here, it is a local variety made specifically by a smoke house. It’s called a German Sausage, the flavors are distinctly German in origination so a good substitute should be any German beef or even pork sausage. Pre-cooked sausage is used in this recipe however you can choose to buy raw links but you will need to cook them first and then proceed with this recipe. So without further adieu here it is. Let me know in the comments what you think!
Eat and Enjoy,

Description
Tandoori Fried Rice – A quick and easy healthy meal for the whole family that is better than take out. Soy free and gluten free this restaurant style fried rice recipe is simple full of flavor and made in under an hour! This Stir fry rice also makes the best leftovers and can easily be made ahead.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried Organic Basmati Rice
- 4 precooked sausage links, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups frozen petite peas
- 1 whole carrot peeled into short strips using a veggie peeler
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons ground tandoori spice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Finish with salt, to taste (this is my favorite clean mineral rich salt)
- Garnish with chopped green onions
Instructions
- Add two cups dried Basmati rice to a medium sized pot, add 4 cups of water. Place lid on the pot and bring to a boil. Once a boil is reached reduce to medium low and cook for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, begin browning sausage in a large skillet over med-high head. Once browned transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Scramble the 6 eggs and season with salt and/or pepper as desired. Transfer to a plate once cooked and set aside.
- Place peas in a large bowl and cover with hot water to thaw. (You may drain them and add them straight to the fried rice or sauté them first before adding them.) If you plan to sauté do that now once thawed and set aside.
- Once rice is cooked transfer it in batches to a large oiled skillet over med-high heat. Add in the coconut aminos and fish sauce and stir into the rice. Stir the rice often to prevent sticking.
- Add in the remaining spices of garlic powder, ground pepper and ground tandoori.
- Now add the sausage, scrambled eggs and peas to the fried rice and stir through until evenly dispersed.
- Reduce the heat of the rice to med-low. In the center of your fried rice make a “well” that you can peel the carrot strips into. Peel the washed carrot with a veggie peeler by peeling down a third of the carrot at a time. Once the carrot is peeled cover with the hot fried rice and let the carrots cook this way for 3-5 minutes. Then stir them through. Continue cooking if you like a softer carrot otherwise you are ready to plate!
- Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy!
