INGREDIENTS
 2 tbsp Gochujang sauce
 2 tbsp soy sauce
 2 tsp honey
 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
 2 tbsp vegetable oil (avocado oil if you have it)
 4 cloves garlic, minced
 2 carrots, chopped
 1 red bell pepper, chopped
 2 stalks celery, chopped
 1 sweet onion, chopped
 ½ cup peas
 2 large eggs
 2 rice measuring cups cooked and cooled rice
 4 spring onions, chopped

HOW TO MAKE
1

Chop up the vegetables and in a small jar whisk or shake together the gochujang sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and honey.

2

Add the oil to your rice cooker inner bowl and use the REGULAR, SLOW COOK, WHITE RICE or similar function to heat it up.

3

Add the onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and quickly stir-fry until fragrant, 1 minute or so. Add the peas.

4

Remove all the veg to a bowl. Add another little swish of oil and add the egg. Don’t touch it, let it bubble and cook up into a thin pancake shape.

5

Once it is mostly cooked use your spatula to chop it up into pieces. Remove it to the bowl with the veggies.

6

Add a little more oil and add the previously cooked rice to the inner bowl. Mix the rice grains with the oil to get each grain evenly coated.

7

Return the veg and eggs to the bowl with the rice. Drizzle in the sauce and then toss everything to combine well.

8

Season with some cracks of black pepper. Top with protein (if using see Handy Tip), spring onions, sesame seeds, sriracha sauce, kimchi and cashews, if desired!
