Fried Rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ medium onion, diced

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add soy sauce, honey, water, garlic, and oil. Whisk together until combined. Set aside for now.
  2. In a medium sized pan, add vegetable oil, and allow it to heat over medium heat. Once the vegetable oil is hot, add onions. Stir the onions and cook them for a couple minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms to the pan next, and cook for a few minutes until soft.
  4. Then add the rice and corn. Pour the sauce over everything and stir until combined.
