Fried Rice Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 diced onion
- 12 oz frozen peas and carrots
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 beaten eggs
Instructions
- Sauté the onion: In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet with the onions. Stir and heat until they are thawed and tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Scramble the eggs: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them gently until fully cooked.
- Combine eggs and vegetables: Mix the scrambled eggs together with the sautéed vegetables evenly within the skillet.
- Add soy sauce and rice: Pour the soy sauce over the egg and vegetable mixture, stirring well. Gradually add the cooked rice, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly and heat through.
- Serve: Once everything is heated and well combined, remove from heat and serve your delicious fried rice immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture as it is less sticky.
- Feel free to customize with additional vegetables or protein such as chicken or shrimp.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity based on salt preference.
- To keep rice separate and fluffy, avoid overcrowding the pan.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce.
