My Vegetable Fried Rice
- 4 cups Cooked Basmati, Jasmine, Or White Rice (cold)
- 1 teaspoon Canola Oil
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
- 1 whole Carrot, Julienned Or Chopped
- 1/2 cups White Onion, Chopped
- 1 cup Fresh Or Frozen Green Peas (if Using)
- 1 cup Fresh Snow Peas
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dark Thick Soy Sauce (optional, See Note)
- 1 Tablespoon Cooking Sherry Wine (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 cup Fresh Bean Sprouts
- 1 whole Green Onion (scallion), Chopped, For Garnish
- Heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil in a wok or large frying pan. Pour in the beaten egg and tilt pan to coat evenly. Cook until just set; transfer to a plate and cut into thin strips. Set egg aside.
- Heat the remaining canola oil and butter. Add the carrot and white onions and stir-fry a few minutes until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the green peas, if using, and heat through. Add the snow peas and just heat through, but don't cook them. You want them to maintain crispness.
- Stir in rice, which has been fluffed with a fork, minced garlic, soy sauce and thick soy sauce, along with the cooking sherry and sesame oil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stir-frying continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the wok. Season with black pepper and add the fresh bean sprouts; stir to combine.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the egg strips and chopped fresh green onions.
- NOTE: Thick soy sauce can be found in a jar at Oriental Grocery stores. A little goes a long way, so don't use too much. It gives the rice a nice brown color.
