How to Make Burmese Breakfast Fried Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of yellow peas. Cook the peas with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 4 cups of water in a rice cooker.
  2. Partially cover the rice cooker lid to prevent boiling over during cooking.
  3. Cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 2 cups of cooked rice to the wok and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce to the rice and stir to combine.
  8. Add 1 cup of cooked yellow peas to the rice and stir-fry for another 5 minutes.
  9. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and enjoy with a cup of sweet milk tea.
  10. Store any leftover cooked peas in an airtight container in the freezer for later use.
