Ingredients

• 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 stalks green onions
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your ingredients before cooking as this is a quick dish. Dice the carrot, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and thinly slice the green onions (separating white and green parts).

Step 2

Break apart the cold cooked rice with your fingers or a fork to remove any large clumps.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the wok, scrambling them quickly with a spatula. Once cooked, remove the eggs and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in the white part of the green onions, garlic, ginger, and diced carrots. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the peas (and optional proteins like cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu) to the wok. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high and add the cold rice to the wok. Stir well to combine with vegetables and break up any remaining clumps of rice.

Step 8

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry the rice thoroughly to ensure even seasoning and color.

Step 9

Return the scrambled eggs to the wok and mix well. Sprinkle in white pepper and adjust salt as needed.

Step 10

Toss in the green parts of the green onions for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
