Ingredients

4 cups cooked short-grain white rice
1 egg, whisked
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup chopped white onion
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2–3 tablespoons oil (peanut, canola, or vegetable)

Instructions

Prepare the rice by cooking it according to package instructions and chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Soften butter at room temperature; mix with soy sauce.
Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat and scramble the whisked egg until cooked; set aside.
Sauté carrots, peas, and onion in the same skillet until tender; season with salt and pepper.
Add more oil to the skillet, then add cold rice. Fry while tossing for about 4-5 minutes until warmed through.
Pour the butter-soy sauce mixture over the rice; stir to coat evenly.
