👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Cook the rice in water with the salt about 40 minutes, until the water is absorbed, and spread on a tray to cool and dry out a little.
    StovePotBaking pan
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a wok over very high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡Very high heat and a large pan: the vegetables char instead of steaming, and don't overcrowd the pan.
  3. 3
    Add the garlic and ginger and fry 1 minute, until fragrant.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Add the carrot and fry 3 minutes, tossing.

  5. 5
    Add the zucchini and pepper and stir-fry 4 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Add the cold rice, separate the grains with a spatula and stir-fry 2–3 minutes over high heat.

    💡Cold, dry day-old rice stays in separate grains; hot fresh rice releases steam and starch and sticks together in a lump.
  7. 7
    Add the peas, soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper and stir-fry another minute, until the rice is coated in the sauce.
    Stove
  8. 8
    Serve immediately.
