Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked and cooled white rice
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or sesame oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast or shrimp (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble until cooked through. Remove the eggs and set aside.

Step 3

Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are heated through.

Step 5

If using cooked chicken or shrimp, add it to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the cooked and cooled rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly heated.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the rice. Stir well to coat all the rice evenly in the sauces.

Step 8

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet. Stir everything together, breaking up the eggs into smaller pieces.

Step 9

Season the fried rice with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss in the sliced green onions and give it a final stir.

Step 10

Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
