Classic Fried Rice

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Onion

1 medium, diced

Carrots

2 medium, diced

Frozen peas

1 cup

Green onions

2, chopped (for garnish)

Eggs

2, beaten

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Cooked rice

4 cups, preferably day-old

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Add the diced onion and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
3. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
4. Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble them until fully cooked.
5. Once the eggs are cooked, add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine the rice with the vegetables and eggs.
6. Drizzle the soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture, stirring to ensure everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fried rice is heated through and slightly crispy at the bottom.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
