  2. Add remaining sesame oil to the skillet, sauté diced carrots, onions for 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  3. Add cooked rice, breaking up clumps. Drizzle butter and soy sauce over rice, stirring to combine and heat through.

  5. Garnish with extra green onions and serve.

Add extra Bang Bang sauce or chili flakes if you prefer more heat.

You can customize with additional veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor and texture.
