Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked brown rice or white rice
• 4 ounces butter, softened 
• 1 onion large, diced
• 1 large carrot, peeled and rough chopped
• 2 cloves whole garlic, mashed
• 2 cloves garlic, whole
• 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 -1 teaspoon onion powder
• toasted sesame seeds
• 4 green onions, cut in 1/4- to 1/2-inch diagonal cuts
• freshly ground pepper
• 1/8 - 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Here’s how you make it:

1. Combine the 2 cloves of mashed garlic and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt to the softened butter. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse the carrot, onion and whole garlic to just under split pea size. Set aside.
3. Place the butter into a large skillet or wok. Add the carrot, garlic and onion mixture. Sauté until onions are translucent and carrots begin to brown and caramelize.
4. Beat eggs in a bowl. Season with the remaining garlic salt, onion powder, salt and white pepper. Set aside. (If you don't have white pepper, omit it or add more black pepper. )
5. Add the cooked white or brown rice to the pan. Sauté to combine the carrot-onion mixture and until rice releases steam and begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the green peas.
6. Add the eggs and cook through. Toss to combine everything.
7. Add soy sauce, to taste. Add scallions and toss about 2 minutes. Add toasted sesame seeds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Store any leftover rice in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
