Perfect Fried Rice
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice (preferably cold, day-old rice works best)
2 tbsp sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
1 tbsp oyster sauce (or substitute with mushroom sauce for a vegetarian version)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein
Instructions:
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the carrots and peas for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Add the cold rice to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula.
Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper, mixing everything well.
Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and toss everything together.
Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
Notes:
Make it your own by adding your favorite protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of sugar.
