Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice leftover or cold rice works best
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 large Vidalia onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Green onion for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Rice:

  • Cook jasmine rice according to package directions. If using leftover rice, ensure it's cold for better results.

Sauté Vegetables:

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until onions are soft (about 2-3 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Add Peas and Carrots:

  • Add frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Cook until partially thawed, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust the time if using fresh vegetables.

Incorporate Cooked Rice:

  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked rice to the skillet.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the rice is hot and begins to brown.

Create Space for Eggs:

  • Reduce the heat and push the rice to the sides of the pan, creating a well in the middle for the eggs.

Scramble Eggs:

  • Crack the eggs into the well and scramble them in the center of the pan.

Combine Eggs with Rice:

  • Once the eggs are cooked, stir them into the rice, ensuring an even distribution.

Prepare Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and sesame oil together.

Final Coating:

  • Pour the sauce over the rice and stir until the rice is evenly coated.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish with chopped green onions and serve your delicious homemade egg fried rice.

Notes

Top your fried rice with chopped green onions, cilantro, or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.Jasmine rice can be substituted with brown or white rice.
Note: It's generally recommended to use cold, day-old rice for making fried rice. Cold rice has had time to dry out, reducing moisture content. This helps in preventing the rice from becoming mushy or sticky when stir-fried. Freshly cooked rice tends to be more moist and can result in clumpy and soggy fried rice. If you only have fresh rice, spreading it out on a tray and chilling it in the refrigerator for a few hours can help to dry it out before using it for fried rice.
