Ingredients

3 cups cooked jasmine rice (leftover or cold works best)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/4 large Vidalia onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

3 tablespoons soy sauce

Green onion (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a tray and chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to dry it out.

  • Sauté Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft.

  • Add Peas and Carrots: Add frozen peas and carrots to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until partially thawed.

  • Incorporate Cooked Rice: Increase heat to medium-high and add the cooked rice. Stir for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly browned.

  • Create Space for Eggs: Push rice to the sides of the pan, creating a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well and scramble until fully cooked.

  • Combine Eggs with Rice: Mix the scrambled eggs into the rice, making sure they’re evenly distributed.

  • Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil.

  • Final Coating: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and stir until evenly coated.

  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture. Fresh rice can be too moist and cause the dish to become soggy.

  • Customize with additional vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.

  • For added protein, include chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef.
