Classic Easy Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked white rice (chilled)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 0.5 small onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Steps

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion and frozen peas and carrots, sautéing until the onion is translucent and vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Push the vegetable mixture to the sides of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the center. Scramble until just set, then mix with the vegetables.
5. Add the chilled rice to the pan, breaking up any large clumps with a spatula.
6. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
7. Toss in the sliced green onions, remove from heat, and serve immediately.
