The entire family enjoyed this simple and tasty recipe. I only used olive oil and reduced the amount slightly. We will definitely enjoy this one again!

My family found this dish to be very tasty and want me to make it again real soon. I used frozen peas and carrots for vegetables because that's what my family prefers. Also, I prefer to use a little less of sesame oil.Cooked instant rice will work well also. Great taste.
