Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 large egg, beaten
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 2 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking. Ensure the cooked jasmine rice is cool to prevent clumping during frying.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cool jasmine rice to the pan, breaking it apart gently using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Stir in the green onions, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
For an extra burst of flavor, serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the rice before eating.
