Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked cold rice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. Dice the carrot, slice the green onions, and mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble until just set. Remove the eggs and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked cold rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Mix in the frozen peas, green onions, and scrambled eggs. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Stir to evenly coat the rice with the sauces.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for an additional minute to combine all flavors.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
