Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked and chilled jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 stalks scallions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup cooked diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the hot pan and scramble until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they slightly soften. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Increase the heat to high, then add the cooked and chilled jasmine rice to the pan. Break up any clumps and toss the rice with the vegetables.
Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper over the rice. Stir well to combine and evenly coat the mixture.
If using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, add it to the pan along with the scrambled eggs. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Toss in the sliced scallions and give the fried rice one final stir. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Sun Ya Fried Rice!
