Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 0.5 cups Frozen peas
• 3 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 1 cup Cooked chicken or shrimp
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

Add 2 cups of jasmine rice and 2.5 cups of water to your Zojirushi rice cooker. Select the 'Quick Cook' setting and start the rice cooker. When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a rice paddle and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Dice the carrots, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and chop the green onions.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the rice is ready, press 'Keep Warm' and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the rice cooker’s inner pot. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, then cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring occasionally with a heatproof spatula.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into the rice cooker and stir quickly to scramble. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the eggs are just set.

Step 7

Add the diced carrots, frozen peas, and cooked chicken or shrimp to the rice cooker. Stir everything together and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice back into the rice cooker. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Switch the rice cooker to 'Keep Warm' and let the fried rice sit for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your fried rice hot!
