VEGGIE-STUFFED FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat about a tablespoon of avocado oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until not quite fully set. Remove from pan and set aside.Add another tablespoon of avocado oil to the now-clean pan. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, spinach, and green peas and cook, stirring frequently, until carrots are tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove veggies from pan.Add a bit more avocado oil to the clean pan and add the chicken. Cook until no longer pink in the middle, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan.Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and butter to the now-empty pan (it's okay if there's some crispy bits from chicken still in the pan) and turn the heat up to high. Once the butter melts, add the rice. Gently break up any large clumps. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice is hot and turning brown here and there. Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.Return the eggs, veggies, and chicken to the pan. Add the soy sauce mixture and give everything a good stir. Heat until everything is nice and hot. Serve immediately with green onions, butter and hot sauce (gochujang is my favorite).

BETTER THAN TAKEOUT FRIED RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat (I've used both a nonstick and a regular skillet, I kind of prefer a nonstick for this rice). Add 1 tbsp. of the butter into the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the lightly beaten eggs. Let them cook for about 30-40 seconds or until set, then scramble. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove them and set them aside.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan- when it's hot, add the carrot and onion and cook until tender, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, taking care not to brown. Turn the heat up slightly and add the cold rice and peas. Cook the the mixture for about 3-4 minutes (it will sizzle and should brown a bit), then add the eggs, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce. Cook for a few more minutes or until the mixture is hot. Season with salt and pepper, serve immediately.

• Add the remaining butter and oil to the skillet. Add the edamame, then the corn and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the riced cauliflower and sweet potatoes, stirring to combine. Cook until the cauliflower is just heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Give the sauce one last shake and add to the skillet. Return the eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Garnish with the scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds.
