27 - 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
28 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
29 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
30 - Sesame seeds and lemon wedges, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add more water if needed to make it spoonable, then refrigerate.
02 - Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs in a little butter, add the rice, peas and carrots, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing often, then stir in green onions and move to a warm plate.
03 - Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add oil to the hot surface and cook the chicken in a single layer for 5-7 minutes, turning until browned and cooked through to 165°F. Add 1 tablespoon butter, a little garlic, and a splash of soy sauce, then transfer to the platter.
04 - Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot thin layer of oil for 2-4 minutes, turning to brown the edges. Add 1 tablespoon butter, a little garlic, and soy sauce, then remove while still tender.
05 - Season shrimp lightly. Cook on the hot surface for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Finish with 1 tablespoon butter and the remaining garlic, then move to the platter.
06 - Add zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and carrot to the griddle. Cook for 4-6 minutes until crisp-tender and lightly browned. Add butter and soy sauce, toss well, and serve with rice, proteins, sauce, sesame seeds, and lemon wedges.

# Good to know:

01 - Prep all ingredients before turning on the griddle.
02 - Cold day-old rice gives the best fried rice texture.
03 - Cook proteins in batches so they brown instead of steam.
