Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 4 eggs, whisked
• 1-2 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 lb cooked chicken, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 2tsp garlic powder)
• 4-5 cups cooked and chilled rice (make sure to chill for at least an hour, ideally overnight)
• 8 Tbsp tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil (Optional)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add carrots and cook 2 minutes. Add onions, cook additional 2 minutes. Add peas and garlic, cook additional 3 minutes.
2. Make room in the pan for eggs. Scramble the eggs, then mix with veggies.
3. Add rice and chicken. Spread soy sauce over the rice. Cook, stirring, for 5-10 minutes on high heat until rice begins browning.
4. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame oil. Stir. Serve immediately, with soy or teriyaki.

Notes:

• Chilling the rice helps minimize the mushiness, stickyness, and starchiness of the fried rice.
• Feel free to explore other veggie or protein options.
