Yield: 4 servings.
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 small yellow onion, diced (about ½ cup)
1 cup shredded carrots
4 cups shredded Napa or green cabbage
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice, at room temperature
4 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup salted peanuts (for garnish)
Heat sesame oil in a nonstick wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and cabbage, and stir-fry over high heat until vegetables are softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and stir-fry until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Push fried rice to the sides of the pan to create a well. Pour eggs into the well and stir gently until nearly cooked. Toss fried rice with eggs and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat and stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sugar, and green onions. Serve fried rice in bowls and garnish with peanuts.

In North Carolina, spring brings the scent of fresh-cut grass and memories of helping Dad mow the lawn.
Nostalgic burger joints are like time machines, delivering something extra special that keeps us coming back.
This tiny city block in downtown Greensboro once had a gigantic reputation. Not so much for its charbroiled beef patties — though they, too, were plentiful — but for its colorful characters and their wild shenanigans.
In the 1950s, as Americans hit freshly paved roads in shiny new cars during the postwar boom, a new kind of restaurant took shape: the drive-in. From those first thin patties to the elaborate gourmet hamburgers of today, North Carolina has spent the past 80 years making burger history.
