Main Ingredients

Seasoning

Optional Add-ins

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    If using leftover rice, ensure it has been refrigerated overnight. This helps to dry it out and prevents clumping during frying.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the carrots, chop the green onions, and make sure the green peas are ready to use. If using optional add-ins like chicken or shrimp, prepare them by cooking and dicing as needed.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Scramble Eggs

    In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pan, add the remaining sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

  3. 5

    Add Peas and Rice

    Add the green peas and the cooked rice to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and break up any clumps of rice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Season the Rice

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir well to evenly distribute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 7

    Combine Everything

    Add the scrambled eggs back into the pan, along with any optional add-ins like chicken or shrimp. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your unforgettable fried rice!
