Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 0.5 cups frozen peas
- 2 stalks, sliced green onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Make sure the cooked rice is cold and has been refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight. This prevents the rice from becoming mushy while frying.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them until just cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the cold cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break apart any clumps and mix the rice with the vegetables.
Step 7
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir well to evenly coat the rice with the sauce.
Step 8
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix them into the rice.
Step 9
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy Ali's Fried Rice as a main dish or a side dish!
