CLASSIC VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

- cook rice according to package constructions. Allow to cool before adding to the veggie mix. 

- in a large pan, melt 1/2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add just egg and scramble. Put on a plate and set aside.

- in the same pan, add 1 tbsp of butter and add garlic, onions, carrots, and peas. Season with sat and pepper. Sauté until carrots and onions are soft (~5 minutes).

- increase to high heat, add in the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp of butter, the cooled rice, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and continue cooking for a few minutes to fry. If you’d like it to be a little crispy on the bottom, don’t stir constantly. Add in scrambled egg, stir to combine.

- remove pan from heat and stir in sesame oil. Taste and season with more soy sauce if desired. 

- serve immediately, garnishing with a sprinkle of scallions.
