Notes
- Rice - You could adapt this recipe using jazmine rice or brown rice. Due to the starch content each variety cooks slightly differently. Adjust as needed.
- Ground Beef - You could make this fried rice using ground pork, ground chicken or ground turkey. You could also use steak, chicken breasts, chicken thighs or pork cut into bite-size pieces.
- Teriyaki Sauce - I highly recommend using teriyaki sauce for this recipe, but you could adapt using soy sauce if that's what you have on hand. When doing so, you may need to taste and adjust the amount to your taste.
- Veggies - There's no need to thaw the petite peas prior to adding them to the pan. You could also use broccoli, mushrooms, red bell pepper or carrots.
- Lower Carb Option - Trying to skip the carbs? You can make this recipe using cauliflower rice instea
