Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups day-old cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 medium carrots, diced
- 0.5 cups green peas, frozen
- 2 stalks spring onions, chopped
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup cooked protein (e.g., chicken, shrimp, pork, or tofu)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare all ingredients: mince the garlic, chop the onion, dice the carrots, and chop the spring onions. If using cooked protein, cut it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the diced carrots and cook for about 3 minutes, then stir in the frozen green peas. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Add the day-old cooked rice to the pan. Break up any clumps with the back of a spoon or spatula, ensuring the grains are separated.
6. Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce evenly over the rice, stirring continuously to coat the rice and distribute the sauces.
7. Toss in the cooked protein pieces and mix well. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces as you fold them into the rice mixture.
8. Season the fried rice with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
9. Remove the fried rice from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Filipino Fried Rice (Morisqueta Tostada)!
