Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions
Directions
- In a medium sauce pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15–20 minutes, just until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat, and let cool for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the skillet, and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked rice and frozen vegetables to the skillet, and toss with the oil and onions. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Create a hole in the center of the rice to pour the beaten egg, allowing it to reach the surface of the skillet. Let cook for 1 minute before breaking up the cooked egg and stirring it into the rice.
- Add the soy sauce and sliced green onions to the skillet, and sauté, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes before serving.

HELPFUL TIP: For even more flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of Chinese five-spice powder (sold in either the spice aisle or the Asian food section) to the hot oil when you add the onion in step 2.
