Fried Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and ensure your rice is cold and cooked. This helps prevent the rice from becoming mushy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and peas to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the carrots are tender.

  5. 5

    Add Rice

    Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan. Stir well to combine and break up any clumps.

  6. 6

    Season the Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce.

  7. 7

    Add Eggs and Green Onions

    Push the rice to one side of the pan, pour the beaten eggs into the other side, and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the eggs into the rice, then add the chopped green onions.

  8. 8

    Final Stir

    Give everything a final stir to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve hot as a main dish or a side along with your favorite Thai dishes.
