Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup long grain white rice
  • 3 cups water (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 3/4 cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Kikkoman's teriyaki sauce (See image above.)
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
    Prepare the rice a day in advance.
  1. Pour the rice into a fine mesh strainer. Rinse thoroughly in cold water, shaking and stirring the rice, until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook rice.

    Add the rice, 2 ¾ c. of water, and ½ tsp of salt to a saucepan. Bring to low boil. Let the rice boil at this level, reducing heat if needed, for 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cover, and simmer for another 16-17 minutes. Remove from heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. 

  3. After the ten minutes have passed, you can remove the lid and transfer the rice to a container. Allow to cool and then refrigerate overnight.
  4. Prepare Yum Yum Sauce if desired.

    If you want some Yum Yum Sauce to go with your fried rice, you will want to go ahead and make it the night before as well!

    5. Fry the rice.
  5. Heat the vegetable and sesame oils in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, until just turning translucent.
  6. While the onions are cooking, place the frozen peas and carrots in a microwave-safe container with ¼ c. of water. Cook for 45 seconds, or until just thawed, and drain. Set aside.
  7. Add the pre-cooked rice to the skillet and toss to coat with the oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes to warm the rice through.
  8. Reduce heat to medium. Push the rice off to one side and add the butter. Once melted, add the beaten eggs and scramble.
  9. Return the heat to medium-high. Add the peas and carrots, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce and toss to combine. Spread the rice out flat and let cook for 1-2 minutes to start developing a crust. Repeat as desired.
  10. Taste and add salt, pepper, and additional teriyaki and/or soy sauce to taste.
