Ingredients

SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED IS:

Instructions

  • Prepare rice according to package directions, making it in advance and storing it in the refrigerator overnight. (Note: if you’re making a fresh batch to use immediately, spread cooked rice on a cookie sheet and let cool. This will help the steam to dissipate faster.)
  • Remove Frozen Peas from the freezer.
  • Chop Carrots into small bite-size pieces.
  • Cut the Green Onions into 1/8 inch slices
  • Press Garlic and set aside.
  • Whisk one Egg.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of the Vegetable Oil. Add Egg, spreading it around the pan into a thin layer. Scramble up into small pieces and remove. Set aside.
  • Wipe the frying pan clean and add remaining Vegetable Oil (about 2 teaspoons) and 1/2 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil. Add Green Onions and Garlic. Sauté until fragrant. (Note: if using fresh Ginger, add it with the Onions and Garlic.)
  • Add Carrots and Peas and sauté until Carrots start to soften. Season with Ground Ginger.
  • 10. Add Rice and sauté until warm and thoroughly coated in the oil. You’ll start to see some of the grains start to darken.
  • 11. Turn off heat and add Soy Sauce. Mix until all the rice is a consistent color.
  • 12. Add Scrambled Egg back in and mix thoroughly.
