- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into a bowl, lightly beat them, and pour into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are cooked through.
Step 6
Add the day-old cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through.
Step 7
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and evenly coat the rice.
Step 8
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently fold them into the rice mixture.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with the green tops of the chopped green onions.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade fried rice with egg.
