Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 pieces green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients: dice the carrot and red bell pepper, and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and a little black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beaten eggs and stir gently until they are just cooked through. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic, diced carrot, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender.
Add the frozen peas and continue stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the pan. Stir well, breaking up any clumps, and allow it to heat through.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stirring constantly to ensure the rice is well coated.
Return the cooked eggs to the pan, breaking them into small pieces while mixing them with the rice.
Add the sliced green onions and stir everything together for another minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade vegetarian egg fried rice!
