THE BEST FRIED RICE

The BEST Fried Rice. This fried rice is loaded with veggies and only takes 20 minutes to make!

Vegetable Fried Rice has to be one of my all time favorite dishes. I love making Chinese food at home and fried rice is always the perfect accompaniment to my take out style dishes. I love serving this rice with my General Tso’s Chicken and my Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef.


INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 3 eggs, whisked
• 2 medium carrots, small dice
• 1 small onion, small dice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 4 cups cooked and chilled rice, (I either use white or brown rice)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• sliced green onions for garnish, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter into a large skillet.
2. Add the eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter into the pan.
4. Add carrots and onion to the pan and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes.
5. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
6. Add in the cold rice and peas and sauté for 3-4 minutes. The rice should brown up a bit.
7. Add the eggs back to the pan and stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve immediately with green onions for garnish, if desired.
