Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 cup Peas
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 4 stalks, chopped Green onions
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 large, beaten Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it cool. For best results, refrigerate the rice for a few hours or overnight.

Step 2

In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beaten eggs. Stir gently and cook until just set, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sesame oil to the wok. Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high and add the diced carrots, peas, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Add the cooled rice to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice, ensuring it is evenly heated.

Step 6

Return the cooked eggs to the wok, breaking them into smaller pieces with your spatula.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with soy sauce.

Step 8

Finally, stir in the chopped green onions and remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the vegetarian fried rice hot. Enjoy your meal!
