Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 teaspoons ginger minced
• 2 green onions sliced and separated
• 1 cup frozen carrots or diced fresh
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 1/2 cups cold cooked white rice
• 1 cup chopped cooked chicken or pork or shrimp (optional)
• 4 eggs scrambled
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Augmentations

• This tends to be made for two nights so we cook 2 cups of rice. You can do more if you want.
• You can add Chinese Sausage or frozen shrimp as other proteins

Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a wok or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add in garlic, ginger and the white portion of the green onions. Cook until fragrant.

Step 2

Add carrots & peas, cook until heated and softened.

Step 3

Add rice (and protein if using) continue to cook until rice slightly crisped and brown. Don’t stir too much, you do want to get a little bit of caramelization.

Step 4

Create a opening in the middle of the pan and add eggs. Cook them till they are scrambled.

Step 5

Add in soy sauce & sesame oil.

Step 6

Garnish with remaining green onion and sesame seeds if desired.
