Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- ½ cup onion chopped
- ½ cup bell pepper chopped
- 1 large carrot finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cups leftover white rice chilled overnight - do not use freshly cooked rice -- it will be too sticky
- 1 ½ cups chicken diced (can substitute pork, beef or shrimp)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Chop the vegetables and chicken before you begin cooking and have them ready to go
- In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce, stir to combine and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium high heat. When the oil starts to slick across the pan, add the onion, pepper and carrot, stir, cooking until the vegetables become tender 3-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice, stirring occasionally to break up clumps and heat through 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken (or other protein) and soy sauce mixture, stirring until well combined. Add the egg and toss well to combine with the rice mixture. Add the peas, scallions and cilantro, cooking just until the peas are thawed. Serve.
