Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 small Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 stalks Scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring that the cooked white rice is cold. This helps it fry better without becoming mushy. Ideally, use rice that has been refrigerated for at least a few hours or overnight.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced scallions (reserving some for garnish) and stir briefly.
Step 7
Add the cold rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes to evenly heat the rice.
Step 8
Stir in the soy sauce and mix well to evenly coat the rice.
Step 9
Add the frozen peas and carrots, cooked eggs, salt, and white pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
Step 11
Garnish with the reserved scallions before serving.
Step 12
Serve hot as a side dish or a standalone meal.
