ingredients
Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Prepare your vegetables: dice the carrot, bell pepper, and onion, and mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil.
Cook Eggs
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and scramble them for 1-2 minutes until they are cooked through and crumbly. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the pan. Add the diced carrot and onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Then, add the bell pepper and minced garlic, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Rice and Season
Add the frozen peas and corn to the vegetables, then stir in the cold rice. Stir-fry continuously for 3-5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and toss thoroughly to coat all the rice and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Finally, stir the cooked eggs back into the rice. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly sliced green onions. Enjoy your meal!
Extra Tips
► The best fried rice is made with leftover, day-old rice, as it's drier and won't clump together.
► Don't overcrowd the pan! If you're making a larger batch, fry the rice in smaller portions to ensure it gets nicely browned.
► Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, or bean sprouts for variety.
