Look for lemongrass stalks among the exotic fare in the produce section; you can also find them at an Asian market.

Ingredients
- 6 cups cooked white rice, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 10 ounce bag frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions
- In a large bowl, fluff the rice with a fork. Add the eggs and stir until just combined.
