First, cook your rice using either an Instant Pot, rice cooker or on the stove.
While the rice is cooking, wash, peel, and chop the celery, carrots, and onion.
Saute the veggies in a large pan or a wok with the toasted sesame oil and soy sauce for about 15 minutes or until softened.
Once the rice is cooked, toss it into the pan with the veggies and stir to combine.
Allow the rice to sit undisturbed for a few minutes between stirs to get that crispy fried texture.
That's it! Garnish with red pepper flakes and enjoy!
Notes
Not Vegan? Add an egg to the pan with the veggies and cook fully before adding the rice.Gluten Free? Opt for tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.Want more protein? Serve this with my Crispy Sesame Tofu or your protein of choice - chicken, shrimp, etc.
