Steps
  1. Make the plain rice, soup, dipping sauces and salad dressing a day or two ahead.
  2. Prepare lettuce and carrots for salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Prep the rest of the meal ingredients.
  4. Cook the meats and vegetables in one large skillet or wok, and at the same time cook the fried rice in another (total cooking time is about 15 minutes). If you don't have more than one, make the fried rice, then the meat, then vegetables.
  5. subheading: Meats and vegetables:
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok on med high heat. Add meat(s) and their ingredients and sauté until done. Stir in sesame oil, remove and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with all the vegetable ingredients.
  7. subheading: Fried rice:
  8. Heat ½ tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add egg, and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer to a separate plate.
  9. Add an additional 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add carrots, onion, peas and garlic, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft.
  10. Increase heat to high, add in the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of butter, and stir until melted. Immediately add the rice, green onions, soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and stir until combined. Continue stirring for an additional 3 minutes to fry the rice.
  11. Then add in the eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame oil until combined. Taste and season with extra soy sauce, if needed.
