Both adults and children enjoy these orange slice cookies very much. I’ve modified my husband’s grandmother’s recipe to create this one. To fit my own family’s preferences, I made a few adjustments.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons peanut oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 cups cold cooked rice
- ⅔ cup frozen peas, thawed
- ⅔ cup frozen carrot slices, thawed
- ⅔ cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
- ¼ cup sliced green onion (green part only)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook egg in hot wok, stirring continually, until no longer moist, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer egg to a plate and return wok to heat.
- Cook ginger and garlic in skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add teriyaki sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes to the ginger and garlic; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook another 2 minutes.
- Crumble cold rice into the wok. Stir rice with a wooden spoon, breaking rice into individual grains as it warms; add peas, carrots, broccoli, and green onion. Cook and stir mixture until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Fold scrambled egg into the rice mixture; cook and stir until egg is reheated, 1 to 2 minutes more.

very good
Great basic recipe! I used soy sauce instead of teriyaki, and no sugar. 2 eggs. And a variety of chopped vegetables- what was on hand.
Next time I’d leave the lime juice out. It overpowered the other flavors.
Very delicious. Cooked the rice the evening before. I replaced the green onion for leeks. I really liked the texture, spices and vegetables. I was just a little too sweet for my taste. Maybe next time I would omit the brown sugar and use regular soy sauce instead of teriyaki.
Added more veggies!
It was pretty good. The only thing I would do differently next time is to cook the vegetables a bit earlier and add the rice afterward. The veggies seemed to be more raw than anything. Other than that, it was good rice.
Made according to the recipe, except used tamari instead of teriyaki sauce, and sugar snap peas. Came out great!
First time I made it = good Each time I have made it after that = Best Ever! I like to put different veggies in each time. I want to try shrimp next time.
Loved it!!
Best rice I’ve made so far! Put more veggies than called for but more is better in this case.
I used 3 eggs when I made this and had no soy sauce on hand- so instead I used worstershire – and it was fine! (I know- I am as shocked as you are. The world didn’t end!) I added celery, peas, carrots, sweet peppers, and asparagus – all chopped up super tiny. It was a lovely way to use a lot of leftover brown rice. This recipe seems so versatile and easy to expand (or contract). Also- I used ground ginger- rather than fresh— the result was a nicely spiced dish !
This was really bland. I had to add way more garlic, lime, and soy sauce. I also added orange poppyseed dressing, which brought out a lot of flavors. I might make it again but I would have to figure out the modifications.
Modified this a good bit — for veggies, used fresh broccoli, green pepper and mushrooms, reduced the amount of sugar, used tamari instead of teriyaki (so no need to add extra salt), and threw in some extra red pepper flakes. After adding liquids, it was reducing too quickly to cook on its own, so I added veggies and rice right away; Not bad!
Family was thrown off by the sugar and the lime, personally, I love lime so it didn’t bug me. This rice is sweeter than I normally make it, given the teriyaki and added sugar. If I do this again, those would be omitted/replaced with regular soy sauce. Left out the peas as that is one of the few veggies we won’t touch. Thanks for a decent recipe!
