Prepare White Rice (1 cup).
step 7
In a large pan or wok, heat peanut or Vegetable Oil (as needed). Don’t use olive oil because it doesn’t hold up well to high heat. Add the onions, carrot, jalapeño, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until nice and soft.

Add the broccoli and mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of the sauce and stir.

Make a well in the center of the wok or pan and add the cold rice, along with any remaining sauce.

Add a squeeze of lime juice if you'd like, and serve hot.
