Instructions
Prepare the vegetables and rice: finely slice 1 small (or 1/2 large) green cabbage (about 8 cups), peel and grate 1 large carrot (about 1 cup), and finely dice 1 medium onion (about 1 cup). Measure 3 cups cooked Jasmine rice.
If your rice is not already cooked, cook Jasmine rice according to package instructions, cool slightly, then measure 3 cups cooked rice before proceeding.
Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over very high heat until hot. Add 2 Tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the sliced cabbage, grated carrot, and diced onion to the hot pan. Sauté over very high heat, stirring constantly, until the cabbage is wilted and beginning to turn a little golden, about 7–10 minutes (the vegetables will shrink to about 1/3–1/2 their original volume). If the pan begins to burn, reduce heat slightly but keep it hot.
Add 2 Tbsp unsalted butter to the pan and stir until melted. Add the 3 cups cooked Jasmine rice and break up any clumps, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook 1–2 minutes to heat the rice through.
Stir in 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Add 1/4 tsp salt (or omit) and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste). Stir well, taste, and adjust salt or pepper if desired.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
