Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
- 6 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: Finely dice the carrot, mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onions, and flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them just until set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside.
Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same pan. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through.
Push the rice to one side and pour the sesame oil and soy sauce into the empty side of the pan. Stir to coat the rice evenly.
Add the frozen peas, scrambled eggs, and flaked smoked salmon to the pan. Mix everything together gently.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper over the fried rice. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the smoked salmon fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
