Fried Rice with Snow Peas and Carrots
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.
