FRIED RICE RECIPES WITHOUT EGGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Add oil to skillet over high heat. When oil is hot add the cold rice and butter. Stir until butter melts and all of the rice has been coated. Add pepper and drizzle of sesame oil. Continue to cook over med-high heat and stir occasionally. (Here is where I would add veggies if you want them.) After about 5-8 minutes add soy sauce turn the heat down and mix well. Cook for another few minutes to heat through.
• I sample the rice throughout the cooking process to make sure it isn't getting crispy and that I have seasoned it enough. You may need to adjust your heat if your rice starts to get crunchy.
• If you do not have leftover rice, you can cook some up and put it on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10-20 minutes -- works great!

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Beat egg with 2 teaspoons water and a large pinch salt and add to skillet. Cook, stirring to form large soft curds, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.  Return skillet to high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil, the carrots, and whites of the green onions. Cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add rice, peas, and cooked eggs to skillet. Pour in soy sauce and cook, stirring until heated through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining green onions.
