Ingredients

• 3 cups short-grain white rice, cooked and cooled
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup green peas, frozen
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 1 cup seared chicken, shrimp, or beef (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0 salt (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice ahead of time to ensure it is cool and dry; this helps achieve the best texture for fried rice.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the diced carrots and onion to the skillet, and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the green peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the other side. Pour the beaten eggs into the oil and scramble until fully cooked.

Step 6

Combine the scrambled eggs with the vegetables and mix in the cold rice. Stir well to incorporate and break up any clumps.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and butter to the rice mixture. Stir continuously, cooking for 3-5 minutes until the rice is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Add in the cooked protein if using, along with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly.

Step 9

Garnish the fried rice with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
