Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked and chilled rice (preferably day-old rice for better texture)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced carrot (optional, for color and crunch)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (or any other vegetable you like)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Protein of your choice (chicken, shrimp, pork, or tofu – optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rice:
- If you don’t have leftover rice, cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This prevents it from getting mushy when frying.
2. Scramble the Eggs:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them, stirring occasionally until they are fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet or wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onions, carrots (if using), and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Add the peas and cook for another minute.
4. Add the Rice:
