Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil, or another high-heat oil
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 4 medium scallions, white and green parts separated and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups leftover cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional, or to taste)
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a large skillet or wok with the oil and place it over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the carrots and white parts of the scallions. Cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots begin to soften.
- Push the carrots and scallions to the side and add the garlic. Cook it for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until very fragrant.
- Mix the garlic in with the carrots and scallions, then raise the heat to high. Add the rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sriracha.
- Stir-fry the rice, flipping it continuously with a spatula, until the liquid from the sauces dries up and the rice begins to crisp in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the peas, sesame seeds, and green parts of the scallions.
- Stir in the sesame oil.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Taste test and adjust any seasonings to your liking.
- Divide onto plates and serve.
