Easy Fried Rice

January 7, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

Fried rice is a super easy frugal dish to use up leftovers.

My family loves it and it only takes minutes.

The base is onion, carrot, and peas.

I like to use radishes too.

Leftover meat chopped finely and any other veggies are great.

Saute onions and carrots and add the meat to warm it up.

Crumble in the cold dry rice.

If I don’t have leftover rice, popping it in the freezer gets it cool and dry quickly.

Add sauces and Chinese Five Spice. Also extra garlic and ginger is great.

The rice steams and the whole house smells delicious.

Toss the frozen peas in and top with sesame oil.

My kids don’t really like the scrambled eggs on top and we were out of green onions this time.

Easy Stir Fry

We are SO PLEASED to review THREE SAN-J products!

san-j-review

We love SAN-J and it’s our preferred brand of soy sauce. These three fun sauce flavors are now pantry staples.

We love San-J because it’s gluten free. We never realized that other brands of soy sauce contain wheat when we had a friend with Celiac disease have a reaction at our dinner party one night. I felt terrible.

Ever since, we’ve only purchased San-J Tamari. I prefer its rich flavor for marinades and it always stays on our table as a condiment.

Mongolian – sweet and salty. This was a favorite! I want to try it on steak!

Orange Sauce – sweet citrus with a little spice. Nice and thick. I would love this on chicken nuggets!

Thai Peanut – salty, nutty, tangy, and spicy. Perfect for grilled meats!

san-j-stir-fry-pork-and-vegetables

We made a simple pork stir fry with San-J Tamari and provided dipping sauces: San-J Mongolian, Thai Peanut, and Orange Sauce.

Cooking is usually a family affair. We often have at least 2 kids in the kitchen, helping.

Tonight, Katie was our helper. Tori set the table. All the kids help clean up. Liz was on a babysitting job, but she came home afterwards and enjoyed the meal while it was still warm!

I chopped up the meat.

We marinated the meat with San-J Tamari, sherry, sugar, and cornstarch.

About San-J

In 1804, San-Jirushi, the founding company of San-J, was established as a Tamari soy sauce and miso company in Mie, Japan. For more than 200 years, their brewing mastery has been passed down through the generations. In 1987, the first Tamari brewery outside of Japan was built in Henrico, Virginia, and San-J was born. Today, San-J president, Takashi Sato, is an eighth-generation member of the founding family and faithfully continues the tradition of quality with a variety of Tamari soy sauces, Asian cooking sauces, salad dressings, soups, and rice crackers. San-J is a trusted soy sauce brand in the natural market, committing itself to ingredient health.

Just The Facts

  • San-J Organic Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce is made with 100% soy and no wheat while regular soy sauce is made with 40-60% wheat.

  • The higher concentration of soy protein gives San-J Tamari a richer, milder, more complex taste.

  • Fermented for up to six months with Japanese brewing methods, San-J Organic Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce is made without artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors.

  • San-J Organic Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce is certified organic, gluten free, vegan, Kosher, and Non-GMO Project verified.

  • A 10 oz. bottle of San-J Organic Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce typically retails for around $4.45.

Where To Purchase

San-J products can be found at natural food stores such as Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmer’s Market, Earth Fare, Fresh Thyme, and other major grocery stores. To find a retailer near you, visit san-j.com/product-locator. We buy it at our local military commissary!

I received these products for FREE from Moms Meet, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.
