Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs whisked
  • 2 cups frozen peas and carrots can find a combination bag in the frozen food section of grocery store
  • ½ teaspoon minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • cups cooked white rice
  • 4-5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook until scrambled. Remove to plate.
  • In the same skillet, add frozen peas and carrots, and minced onion. Saute for 5 minutes or until tender. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  • Add rice and soy sauce to skillet, stirring to combine. Be sure to taste rice with soy sauce, as you may need to increase/decrease amount, depending on your preference.
  • Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, in order to fry rice.
  • Turn heat to low, add eggs and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to taste the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil as you cook. I used a higher content of both, but you can increase/decrease to your liking.
  • Fried rice will keep refrigerated for up to five days.
