Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Finely chop the garlic and the green onions, separating the white and green parts of the green onions.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked.

Step 6

Mix the vegetables in with the scrambled eggs.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, then add the cooked rice. Stir to combine, breaking up any clumps of rice.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Add salt and ground black pepper to taste, adjusting if necessary. Continue to stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes for all ingredients to heat through.

Step 10

Once the rice is well-mixed and heated, add the green parts of the green onions and the sesame oil, stirring once more to combine.

Step 11

Serve hot as a side dish or a main course, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
