Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked red rice

• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the red rice according to package instructions if not already cooked. Ensure it has cooled and is slightly dry to prevent the rice from turning mushy when fried.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Add the diced bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Incorporate the frozen peas into the mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side of the skillet.

Step 7

Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until they are fully cooked.

Step 8

Mix the vegetables and scrambled eggs together and then add the cooked red rice.

Step 9

Pour the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil over the rice mixture, stirring well to ensure even coating.

Step 10

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting if necessary.

Step 11

Continue to stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful and spicy fried red rice!
