Jamacian Fried Rice

The secret to fried rice that actually tastes great is cooking your rice ahead and letting it cool completely, so the grains stay separate instead of turning mushy when you toss them in the hot pan. I roast the carrots first here to give them a head start, which means everything finishes at the same time and nothing gets overcooked.
