Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Finely chop the garlic and the green onions, separating the white and green parts of the green onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked.
Mix the vegetables in with the scrambled eggs.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, then add the cooked rice. Stir to combine, breaking up any clumps of rice.
Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Add salt and ground black pepper to taste, adjusting if necessary. Continue to stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes for all ingredients to heat through.
Once the rice is well-mixed and heated, add the green parts of the green onions and the sesame oil, stirring once more to combine.
Serve hot as a side dish or a main course, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
