Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cups Frozen peas
- 2 stalks Green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, scramble them, and cook until set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and diced carrot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the carrot softens slightly.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to break up any clumps and to combine the vegetables evenly with the rice.
Push the rice to one side of the skillet and pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir everything together to evenly distribute the sauce.
Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet and stir them into the rice.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the sliced green onion over the fried rice.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade fried rice for two!
