My daughter’s new favorite vegetable is snow peas. She takes five of them everyday with lunch to school. She loves the crunch and sweetness they impart.

I always have them in the fridge- we go through at least a pack a week if not two.

The other day, I had a few cups of cooked white rice. So, of course- what comes to mind- that’s right- fried rice. The problem was I didn’t have any vegetables- at least that is what I thought until I saw the snow peas. I chopped a whole lot of them and carrots- I always have baby carrots in the fridge as well.

I love making fried rice- it is super simple, quick and best of all- it is a one pot meal.

It was delicious with the garlic, green onions, eggs, tamari and the a bit of the sriracha sauce. It is also perfect to pack for lunch- perfectly balanced. If you want to make it healthier, use brown rice.

Either way, fried rice with snow peas an carrots is a delicious dish.
