Seeds Free Chicken Fried Rice with Coconut Aminos

Takeout-style fried rice is one of those cravings that can be surprisingly tricky to satisfy when you're avoiding seeds, since traditional soy sauce often contains sesame oil or is processed alongside sesame seeds. This version swaps in coconut aminos, which delivers that same savory, slightly sweet depth without any seed-derived ingredients. The result is a deeply satisfying bowl of golden, wok-kissed rice loaded with tender chicken, sweet carrots, and celery that softens beautifully in the heat. Cooking the rice in batches against a screaming-hot surface gives you those lightly toasted, restaurant-quality grains that make all the difference. Fresh ginger adds a bright, aromatic kick, and the scallions stirred in at the end keep everything feeling vibrant and alive. A handful of cilantro on top pulls it all together for a finish that looks as good as it tastes. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that hits every note — savory, satisfying, and completely stress-free.
