Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup diced carrots
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions, white and lighter green parts
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 cups cooked rice, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Step 1
Heat canola and sesame oils in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot and 1/4 cup green onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic powder and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in rice, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring only once or twice, until rice is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and peas; cook for 2 minutes.

Push rice mixture to the sides of the pan, creating a circle in the middle. Add butter to the center of the pan. When melted, pour eggs into the center. Cook eggs, stirring often, until almost set, about 3 minutes. Stir eggs into the rice mixture. Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar; cook for 2 more minutes.
