Bring pan up to heat. Add 1 Tablespoon butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add carrots, onion, peas and garlic. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft. Remove to separate dish.

Variations:
Chicken Fried Rice: You can either sauté some chicken in a separate sauté pan while making your fried rice. Then shred or dice and add to your fried rice. Or for a shortcut, I like to shred a rotisserie chicken.
Pork Fried Rice: Sauté a boneless pork chop in a separate sauté pan while making your fried rice. Then dice and add to your rice.
Shrimp Fried Rice: Sauté half a pound of peeled, raw shrimp in separate sauté pan while making your fried rice. Then add the shrimp to your rice.
Pineapple Fried Rice: Fresh pineapple can be traditional in Chinese or Thai fried rice. Just chop and stir it in to combine. |
