Instructions
The Teriyaki Sauce
Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
The Stir Fry
In a wok or a very large nonstick skillet, heat the sesame oil and melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat, while stirring constantly.
Add the onions and sauté until they are translucent and have started to wilt, stirring constantly. Then add the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes.
Successively, add the carrots and red bell pepper, cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring and tossing constantly.
Add in the broccoli. Stir teriyaki sauce well and pour in ½ of it into the veggies. Cook until broccoli is tender, but still bright green; about 2 more minutes.
Remove vegetables from heat and set aside in a warm place.
Place a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Toast sesame seeds until they are a light golden brown. Toss the seeds onto the veggies when browned. Do not leave in the pan or they will burn.
Return the wok or skillet to the stove and turn the heat up to high. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. When the butter has melted and starts to foam, add in rice and remaining teriyaki sauce.
Toss the rice and stir constantly. Break up any clumps of the cold rice with the back of a spoon.
Stir the rice constantly and do not let the rice stay in contact with the bottom of the pan or wok for too long. If the rice seems dry, you can add a few extra splashes of soy sauce.
When the fried rice has become golden brown, turn down the heat to medium and push the rice over to one side of the pan or wok; crack open two eggs and scramble them in the pan with the rice.
Once the eggs have cooked, about one minute, stir the egg into the rice and toss to incorporate.
Add the sugar snap peas and toss to warm through; about one to two minutes.
Add the veggies back to the wok or pan. Stir or toss until the veggies and rice are well mixed.
Serve immediately.
Notes
The stir fry comes together very quickly. It is important to have all of the vegetables chopped and all of the ingredients ready to go before beginning to make the stir fry.Although a wok is nice to have, you don’t have to have one to make this stir fry. Simply use a very large non-stick skillet instead.
