Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 6 cups cooked white rice (cooled - I prefer to use jasmine rice)
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 cup peas and carrots, frozen mix (thawed)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
- 1 tablespoon green onion (sliced - optional, garnish)
Instructions
- Bring your wok and the peanut oil to high heat then add the beaten eggs directly in the center of the oil. Stir vigorously and break up the egg while it is cooking in the hot oil (about 1 minute).
- Add the cooled, cooked rice into the wok. Break the rice apart, combining with the cooked egg.
- Add soy sauce and mix into the fried rice and eggs. Then add the thawed peas and carrots mixture (I prefer to heat my frozen mixed peas n carrots until just warm, not hot) and stir to mix into the fried rice.
- Finish the fried rice off with a drizzle of sesame seed oil and sprinkling the sliced green onion into the fried rice (or just on top as garnish when serving, if desired). Stir and serve immediately.
