Preparation

Heat a small nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add sesame oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Pour Just Egg into the pan and cook until it is completely set as a sheet, then transfer to a cutting board, cut into ½-inch strips, and set aside.

Heat a large nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and just when starting to smoke, add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Add the cooked rice and toss with the vegetables. Spread into an even layer in the pan and allow the rice to brown slightly. Add the water chestnuts and Just Egg strips, toss to mix, and spread in an even layer again. Cook for 30–60 seconds, add the peas, and toss to mix.

Season with desired amount of soy sauce and sriracha, then garnish with cilantro, green onions, and slivered almonds.
