For the Base

  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Minced
  • 1 small White Onion Diced
  • 1 small Red Pepper Diced; substitute with bell pepper if desired
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 cups Jasmine Rice Cooked, day old
For Flavor
  • 3 tablespoons Tamari or Soy Sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
For Protein and Freshness
  • 1 can Chickpeas Drained and rinsed; substitute with tofu for a heartier option or omit for a lighter dish
  • 1/4 cup Green Onion Chopped, plus more for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pan or Wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Swirl the oil around the pan until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 small diced white onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 1 small diced red pepper into the hot oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to high and add 3 cups of day-old cooked jasmine rice, 1 can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, and ¼ cup of chopped green onion. Pour in 3 tablespoons of tamari or soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar. Stir together for about 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice.
  4. Allow the rice mixture to cook without too much stirring for an additional 3-4 minutes to slightly crisp up the bottom.
  5. Lower the heat back to medium, then gently fold in 1 cubed mango. Stir for about 1 minute until the mango is heated through.
  6. Remove from heat, serve in bowls, squeeze fresh lime juice on top if desired, and garnish with additional green onion.
