Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old rice)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Equipment

  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until they're cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set them aside in a bowl.
  3. Add the frozen peas and carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the same pan. Stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they're tender.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes or until it's heated through.
  5. Add the soy sauce, white pepper, and cooked eggs to the pan. Stir-fry everything together for about 2-3 minutes or until everything is evenly mixed and heated through.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
  7. Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish and garnish it with additional chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • Day-old rice works best for this recipe because it's drier and won't get mushy when stir-fried.
  • You can use any vegetables you like in this recipe, such as broccoli, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, omit the eggs and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your pan is hot before adding the oil and other ingredients. A hot pan will help prevent the rice from sticking and make it easier to stir-fry.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables first before adding the rice. This will help ensure that they're cooked through and won't be crunchy.
  • Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the rice. Metal utensils can scratch the surface of your pan and cause the rice to stick.
  • Don't add too much soy sauce at once. You can always add more later if needed.
  • Be sure to stir-fry the rice for a few minutes after adding the soy sauce and other seasonings. This will help the rice absorb the flavors and give it that classic fried rice taste.
