We love the Chicken-Less Mandarin Orange Morsels from Trader Joe’s. So last night I cooked up a quick fried rice to go with it. Day old rice works great, but if you don’t have any around, you can cook the rice while you’re starting the other stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1 cup uncooked white rice or about 3 cups cooked rice (I used jasmine)
\n1\/2 teaspoon oil
\n2 eggs scrambled & salted
\n1 teaspoon more oil
\n1 onion chopped
\n2 garlic cloves sliced or minced
\n1 carrot diced
\n1\/2 cup peas
\n1-2 even more tablespoons more oil (I like using sesame oil for this)
\n1-2 teaspoon soy sauce
\nSalt
\nPepper
\n2 green onions chopped<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cook your rice if you need to.<\/li>\n
  2. Heat the 1\/2 teaspoon oil on a non-stick skillet and cook the eggs in a thin\u00a0omelette.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove the egg from heat, roll up and cut (like the picture).<\/li>\n
  4. Heat the 1 teaspoon oil in a wok and add the onion and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent.<\/li>\n
  5. Pre-boil the carrots (I use a bowl with carrots and water in the microwave for 3 minutes).<\/li>\n
  6. Add the carrots and peas to the wok, add a little salt and cook the peas through.<\/li>\n
  7. Push everything to the side and add the rest of the oil to the pan.<\/li>\n
  8. Once the oil is heated, throw in the rice and let it crisp in the oil a little.<\/li>\n
  9. Add the salt and pepper and then mix everything together.<\/li>\n
  10. Throw in the egg and green onions and give it a final stir.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
