Ingredients

• 1 pound cooked lobster meat
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
• 4 pieces green onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all ingredients. Make sure the cooked jasmine rice is cold and ideally prepared a day in advance for best results.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly. Add them to the skillet, scrambling them until just set. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).

Step 5

Add diced carrots to the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the peas and cooked lobster meat, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high. Add the cold jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps, and stir to combine the ingredients well.

Step 8

Season the rice with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is well coated and heated through.

Step 9

Add the cooked eggs back into the skillet along with the sliced green onions. Stir well to evenly distribute.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the lobster fried rice hot, garnished with lime wedges for a fresh citrus touch.
