Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil (Vegan Jim use Flora- Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend) divided
  • 2 eggs (Vegan Jim excludes the eggs) lightly beaten
  • 2 carrots diced
  • ½ c peas thawed if frozen
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 4 c cooked white rice (Vegan Jim uses brown or wild rice) cold
  • 2-3 Tbsp soy sauce (Vegan Jim uses Bragg Gluten-Free Liquid Aminos Soy Protein)

Instructions

  • In a large cast iron skillet or wok heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat.
  • Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly until firm and scrambled, 1 minute. Remove the cooked egg from the pan and set aside.
  • Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel (no need to wash it). Add 2 tsp of oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium high.
  • Add the carrots, peas, and green onions to the wok sautéing for 1 minute after each addition. Once the veggies are heated through, remove the mixture from the pan and set aside.
  • Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel (again, no need to wash it). Add 1 Tbsp of oil to the hot pan.
  • Add all of the cold rice and stir to coat it with the hot oil. Cook the rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring ONLY ONCE halfway through. (By leaving the rice alone, you will get that crispy rice texture!)
  • Once the rice is fried, add the soy sauce and mix to coat.
  • Add the vegetables and eggs back to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  • Taste and add soy sauce as desired.
  • Serve hot.
