Heat 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat until smoking.
Add half of the jasmine rice and cook, stirring / tossing, until the rice is toasted (about three minutes.)
Transfer cooked rice to a medium bowl.
Repeat with another 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil and the remaining rice.
Return all rice to wok and press it to the sides.
In the middle of the pan, add 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil, the carrots, red bell pepper, onion, green onion and garlic.
Stir gently and cook until soft and fragrant.
