This easy homemade fried rice rivals your favorite takeout! A quick stir-fry transforms plain white rice into a delicious dish, seasoned with soy sauce and packed with colorful vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (add more to taste)
- 3 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 4-5 cups cooked and chilled rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Eggs:
Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat (a nonstick pan works best). Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and cook for 30-40 seconds until they start to firm up. Gently scramble them, then remove the eggs from the pan and set aside. - Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the diced carrot and onion. Cook until they soften, then stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown. - Fry the Rice:
Increase the heat slightly and add the cooked rice and peas to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to sizzle and brown slightly. - Combine and Season:
Add the cooked eggs, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Stir well and continue cooking for a few more minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Serve:
Enjoy your fried rice hot, right from the pan!
This flavorful dish is perfect for a quick meal and is sure to impress. Enjoy!
