Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 2 cups cooked and cooled long-grain white rice
  • - ½ cup small diced sweet onion
  • - 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce or toasted sesame oil
  • - 2 tablespoons butter or 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil
  • - 3 cloves garlic minced or 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • - 1 cup frozen peas and carrots or other vegetables like cabbage or broccoli
  • - 2 green onions thinly sliced for garnish
  • - Sesame seeds or chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Heat a large flat wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter (or a combination of butter and oil) and let it melt. Once heated, add the small diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  • Push the onions and garlic to the side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs quickly until they're just set, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the cooled, cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, letting the rice fry and absorb the flavors.
  • Add the frozen peas and carrots to the rice mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to heat through.
  • Drizzle the soy sauce and dark soy sauce (or sesame oil) over the rice and mix well. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and stir to combine everything evenly.
  • Remove the pan from heat, and garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro before serving.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For best results, always use leftover rice that has been cooled, as freshly cooked rice tends to be too moist and sticky. If you don't have leftover rice, spread freshly cooked rice on a baking tray and chill it in the refrigerator or freezer for a short period before using.
  • This will help achieve the desired texture. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, proteins, or sauces to tailor the dish to your liking!
