Variations
Feel free to incorporate other canned vegetables you have in your pantry, such as mushrooms or bamboo shoots, to enhance the flavor and texture.
Notes
1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
2
Once the oil is hot, add the drained peas and carrots mix and the corn kernels to the pan. Stir fry for about 2 minutes.
3
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps as you mix it with the vegetables.
4
Pour in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce (if using). Sprinkle the garlic and onion powders over the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5
Continue to stir fry for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring that the rice is heated through and has absorbed all the flavors.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a richer flavor, drizzle a little sesame oil over the fried rice and stir again.
7
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing with roasted peanuts or cashews and chopped green onions if available.
