Peanut Free Chicken Fried Rice with Coconut Aminos

Fried rice is one of those weeknight heroes that hits every craving at once — savory, satisfying, and endlessly customizable — and this version delivers all of that without a trace of peanut oil or peanut-based sauces. The swap that makes it work is coconut aminos, which brings that deep, umami-rich flavor you expect from a classic fried rice without any of the soy or nut-based concerns that can sneak into takeout versions. Coconut oil keeps things moving in the wok while adding a subtle richness, and day-old jasmine rice gets pressed against the hot surface until some grains turn lightly toasted and irresistible. Carrots, celery, and scallions add color and crunch, while fresh ginger gives the whole dish a bright, aromatic lift that makes it taste anything but plain. The chicken is seared hard and fast over high heat so it stays juicy with golden edges, then tossed back in at the end to soak up all that savory coconut aminos goodness. A handful of fresh cilantro on top pulls everything together and makes it look as good as it tastes. This is the kind of recipe you'll want to keep on rotation — fast, flavorful, and completely stress-free to put on the table.
