For the Fried Rice

  • Pack fried rice firmly into bowls to keep hot.

For the Chicken and Vegetables

  • Heat 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon ghee in same skillet used for rice. Add chicken, 2 tablespoons soy sauce mixture, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir only once or twice so chicken will brown.

Recipe Notes

  • Toasting the sesame seeds is optional, but doing so will enhance their flavor.
  • Traditional soy sauce is not Whole30-compliant, so be sure to only use the coconut amino & fish sauce mixture we mention in our recipe!
  • Make sure your fish sauce is Whole30-compliant and completely sugar free. Red Boat Fish Sauce (affiliate link) works perfectly!
