Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Wash, peel, and dice the carrots, bell pepper, and ginger. Mince the garlic. Chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

  2. 2

    Cook the rice

    If not using leftover rice, cook the rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool to prevent sticking when frying.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté the aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add the vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften, then add the green peas and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add the rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.

  5. 7

    Season the rice

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the rice is slightly crispy.

  6. 8

    Finish with green onions

    Add the green parts of the green onions and stir for another minute before removing from heat.
