Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 3 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cooked protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, or tofu, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12–15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, finely mince the garlic and ginger, and thinly slice the green onions. Peel and dice the carrot into small cubes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat slightly and add the diced carrots. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are just tender. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 7

If including a protein, stir in the cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and heat through for 1–2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and stir well to evenly coat the grains.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet. Gently mix them into the rice, along with the green parts of the green onions.

Step 11

Serve the rice hot, either as a side dish or light main course.
