Quick Homemade Fried Rice
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tbsp. butter (divided)
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 3 tsp. oyster sauce
- 4-5 cups cooked and cooled rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once melted, pour in the beaten eggs. Let them cook for about 30-40 seconds until set, then scramble. Once done, remove the eggs and set them aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan. When hot, add the diced carrot and onion. Sauté until tender, then add the minced garlic. Stir and cook until fragrant, ensuring not to brown the garlic.
- Increase the heat slightly and add the cold rice and frozen peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the rice starts to sizzle and lightly brown.
- Incorporate the cooked eggs back into the pan along with the sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Stir well and continue cooking for a few more minutes until the mixture is thoroughly heated.
- Season the fried rice with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
