Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the cooked white rice is chilled (day-old rice works best for fried rice as it reduces moisture content).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the cooked eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas and carrots mix to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and stir well to evenly coat the rice with the sauces.

Step 8

Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, mixing them into the fried rice.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy Sheila's flavorful, meatless fried rice!
