Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients by finely mincing the garlic, peeling and dicing the carrot into small cubes, chopping the green onions, and ensuring the rice is cold and clump-free.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the eggs and scramble them gently until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the diced carrot and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 6
If you are using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu as a protein option, add it to the skillet now and cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Step 7
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the cold cooked rice to the other side. Drizzle the rice with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
Step 8
Toss everything together in the skillet until the rice is evenly coated with the sauces and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Stir the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions into the rice mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 10
Serve the fried rice hot as a main dish or a flavorful side. Enjoy Edna's signature fried rice with your choice of protein or as is!
