Gluten-Free Egg Fried Rice in a Mug

Adapted from my Egg Fried Rice in a Mug recipe.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time3 minutes
Total Time13 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice, or instant microwave rice
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 TBS low-sodium tamari, or low-sodium soy sauce if not gluten free
  • 1 tsp sesame seed oil, optional
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp five-spice powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 stalk of green onions
  • sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Place a cup of rice in a mug. You want to make sure to use a fairly large mug so that you have room to lay some vegetables on top. Top with half of the vegetables, or enough to fill the mug to the top. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Puncture a few holes in the plastic wrap with a chopstick or a fork. This helps with ventilation.
  • Turn the power setting of your microwave to 8/10 and set timer to 1 minute. You want to microwave the rice on high, but not at the highest setting.
  • While rice is cooking, whisk 1 egg, 1 tablespoon tamari, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (if using), 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder, and a small pinch of salt together. Take the mug out of the microwave, remove plastic wrap, and pour in egg mixture. Use a fork or spoon to give everything a few stirs. Cover rice with plastic wrap again, and microwave rice at an 8/10 power setting for 1 minute 15 to 1 minute 30 seconds. Mine was closer to 1 minute 30 seconds. Let rice stand for a minute before eating.
  • Using a fork or a spoon, fluff up the rice by stirring the contents several times. The egg and rice probably started caking up at the bottom of the mug, so you want to loosen it all up. This is a VERY important step, so don't skip it!
  • Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the remaining ingredients. Enjoy!
