Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the peas and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice and toss to combine, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the scrambled eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and green onions. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and well mixed.
  4. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it’s drier and less likely to clump.
  • Feel free to add protein like shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a more filling dish.
