Fried Rice

I don't usually love fried rice because of the excessive oil and eggs that are used to prepare it. However, I saw it paired with another recipe that I made on one of my favorite blogs, so I thought I would try it. It was really very good. I scaled back the oil in the recipe, I only used one egg and I incorporated more veggies to the mix.

Ingredients:

2 cups enriched white rice
4 cups water
2/3 cup chopped baby carrots (I used one whole bag of frozen mixed veggies)
1/2 cup frozen green peas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used 1 tbsp
2 eggs (I used 1)
soy sauce to taste
sesame oil, to taste

Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions. In a small saucepan, boil carrots in water about 3 to 5 minutes. Drop peas into boiling water, and drain. Heat wok over high heat. Pour in oil, then stir in carrots and peas; cook about 30 seconds. Crack in eggs, stirring quickly to scramble eggs with vegetables. Stir in cooked rice. Shake in soy sauce, and toss rice to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again.
