Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Rice

    Ensure that the white rice is cooked and cooled. Leftover rice works best as it is less sticky.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the carrot, bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the diced carrot, bell pepper, and frozen peas. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Add Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.

  4. 6

    Season Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.

  5. 7

    Optional Add-ins

    If using, push the rice to one side of the skillet, pour the beaten eggs into the other side, and scramble them until fully cooked. Then mix the eggs into the rice. If adding cooked chicken or shrimp, stir these in now and cook until heated through.

  6. 8

    Add Green Onions

    Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir for another minute before removing from the heat.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Spoon the fried rice into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious homemade fried rice!
