Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked white rice (day-old rice works best)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sesame oil recommended)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: Green onions, chopped

Substitutions:

  • For a low-sodium option, use reduced-sodium soy sauce.
  • Replace peas and carrots with any vegetables you prefer, like bell peppers or corn.
  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

  • Add the thawed peas and carrots. Stir fry until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

  • Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and stir until scrambled and cooked.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  • Add the cooked rice to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and mix everything thoroughly. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and evenly coated.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

  • Sprinkle with ground black pepper and mix well. Garnish with green onions for a burst of freshness.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice can be too sticky; day-old rice helps achieve the perfect texture.
  • Prep all ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process seamless.
  • Adjust seasoning: Taste the rice and add extra soy sauce or black pepper to suit your preference.
