1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Sliced green onions for garnishing

 

Instructions:

In a wok or large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are fragrant and the onions are translucent.

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are cooked through.

Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until the rice is heated through and the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Push the rice and vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through, then mix them in with the rice and vegetables.

Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until the rice is evenly coated and the flavors have melded together.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with sliced green onions.

 

Tips:

For a more flavorful fried rice, use chilled leftover rice that has been refrigerated for at least a day. This helps to dry out the rice and prevent it from getting mushy.

You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite protein, such as diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Simply add the protein to the pan before adding the vegetables.

If you want to make the dish vegetarian or vegan, omit the oyster sauce or use a vegan oyster sauce substitute.
