0 chop onion, carrot, and greens no bigger than a quarter
1 Peel the sweet potato and chop into dice-size cubes.
2 In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tsp of the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato and the water and stir-fry the potato, stirring often. If the potato starts to stick, add a little more of the water as needed. Cook until the potato is close to tender and browning on some sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the onion and carrot and cook until the onions are translucent, about 3 more minutes. Add the 5-spice powder and garlic, mix well, then remove the vegetables from the pan. Scrape the pan clean cause we aren’t done.
3 In a small glass, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili paste. Heat the wok back up over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tsp oil. Throw in the rice and stir-fry until it begins to warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the rice, mix well, then add the cooked vegetables. Stir-fry for a minute so everything is well mixed. Fold in the greens, green onions, and peas. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
