Asian Fried Rice with Peas

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine. Spread on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, transfer the cooked rice to an airtight container instead of to a baking sheet. Refrigerate for a day or so.

   Step 2

   In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook 4 or 5 green onions for 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring occasionally.

   Step 3

   Stir in the cilantro and rice. Cook for 2 minutes, or until heated, stirring constantly to separate the grains.

   Step 4

   Stir in the vinegar, soy sauce, cumin, and sugar. Stir in the green peas. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and the peas are heated through, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 green onions, then with the black sesame seeds.
