Instructions
- Step 1
If using day old rice, break apart any clumps before starting cooking. Heat your wok or heavy flat bottomed skillet with 1 tablespoon canola oil until it just starts to smoke, add your rice, stir consistently to evenly toast for about 3 minutes. Depending on your pan size you may prefer to do this in two batches.
- Step 2
Create a space in the middle of your pan, add remaining ½ tablespoon canola oil, then your veggies (minus frozen peas). Cook for 1 minute, then mix with the rice.
- Step 3
If adding egg, move rice/veggie mixture to one side of the pan, add ½ tablespoon oil, scramble egg in pan, then mix with the rice.
- Step 4
Add soy sauce and toasted sesame oil to the pan, stir to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5
Add frozen peas and stir 1-2 minutes till the peas are warmed through, then remove from heat and serve.
Notes
- Step 6
Storage Instructions – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture or microwave for convenience.
