Ingredients

• 3 cups Day-old cooked rice
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a bowl, lightly beat them, and pour into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are cooked through.

Step 6

Add the day-old cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and evenly coat the rice.

Step 8

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently fold them into the rice mixture.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with the green tops of the chopped green onions.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade fried rice with egg.
