This recipe is ideal for leftover chilled rice. However, if you don’t have any, you can measure and cook about 1 1/2 cups of raw rice to yield 4 cups cooked. If you are using fresh cooked rice, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a bit to help firm it up before beginning. Fresh warm rice clumps and does not fry well, therefore it's best to let it chill.
Chef Antoine likes to trim the ends off of his snap peas, but it’s up to you. It’s not a required step.
We used frozen peas and carrots for convenience, but fresh veggies work just as well - just be sure to sautee fresh veggies until tender before adding.
