Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (leftover, cold rice works best)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ large Vidalia onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Green onion, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook jasmine rice according to package directions and set aside. Alternatively, use leftover cold rice for added convenience.
  2. Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onions are soft, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Add frozen peas and carrots and cook until partially thawed, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add Rice: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is hot and starts to brown slightly.
  4. Scramble Eggs: Push the rice to the sides of the pan, creating a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the center of the pan and scramble them until cooked. Once cooked, mix the scrambled eggs into the rice.
  5. Add Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the rice and stir until the rice is evenly coated.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the egg fried rice with chopped green onions for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
