- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 0.5 cups frozen peas
- 3 stalks, chopped green onion
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 2
Beat the eggs in a small bowl, pour them into the skillet, and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add the sesame oil to the skillet, along with the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Then, add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the chilled rice, breaking apart any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow the rice to fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and mix thoroughly to coat all the grains evenly.
Step 7
If using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, stir it into the rice mixture and allow it to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, breaking them into small pieces as you mix them in.
Step 9
Season the fried rice with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 10
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top and serve hot.
