how to make taylors family favorite fried rice

Have previously cooked rice come to room temperature. The use of cooked rice leaves no stickiness or clumping to dish as fresh cooked rice would. Now due to the fluffier nature of basmati rice you can use this rice fresh. Make sure to fluff it up with a fork before using for recipe.

In large wok or stock pot, heat oil over medium heat.

Add in peanut butter and stir to distribute it in oil.

Add in onions and peas and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring it.

Push this mix to the side and add beaten eggs.

Scramble them in pan and once set, stir all together.

If using optional meat or shrimp, you would add them now.

Add in rice and soy sauce, always starting with 3 tablespoons . Taste after 3 to see your preference in flavor. I use 4-5 sometimes.

Once added, remove from heat and serve.
