Easy Vegetarian Benihana’s Fried Rice

We eat mostly plain white rice with our dinners, but every now and then I like to make easy vegetarian fried rice. Sometimes as a standalone dish. Here’s a recipe I found for easy vegetarian Benihana’s fried rice.  Here’s a very simple recipe by the very famous Benihana’s.

Ingredients:

• 1 c Uncooked rice
• 5 T Butter
• 1 c Chopped onion
• 1 c Chopped carrots
• 2/3 c Chopped scallions
• 3 T Sesame seeds
• 5 Eggs
• 5 T Soy sauce
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

Cook rice according to package directions. In a large skillet melt butter.
Add onions, carrots and scallions. Saute until carrots are translucent.
Set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place sesame seeds in a shallow pan.
Bake until golden brown (10 to 15 minutes), shaking pan occasionally for
even color. Lightly grease another skillet. Beat eggs. Pour into hot
skillet. Cook as you would scrambled eggs. Combine rice, vegetables,
sesame seeds and eggs. Add soy sauce. Stir. Salt and pepper to taste.

NOTE: One of the things that we do in our house is add a little bit of ketchup to this recipe. I probably add about 2 tablespoons, but adjust to taste. I know it sounds odd, but it’s really delicious. I also (usually) skip the sesame seedss
