Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 Carrot, diced
• 0.5 cups Frozen peas
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons White pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare 3 cups of cooked rice and ensure it is completely cooled to room temperature for better frying.

Step 2

Chop the green onions, dice the carrot, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes until just cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the skillet, then sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced carrot and frozen peas to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high and add the cooled rice to the skillet. Stir-fry the rice for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

Step 8

Push the rice to one side of the skillet and pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over it. Stir quickly to evenly distribute the sauces.

Step 9

Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet, along with the chopped green onions. Toss everything together for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Season with salt and white pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the egg fried rice immediately while hot.
