Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 2 large eggs, beaten (seasoned with salt and pepper as desired)
Rice and Vegetables
- 3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
- 1 cup frozen peas & carrots, thawed
Seasoning and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons Onion Onion™ Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir slowly and continuously with a rubber spatula until the eggs are fully set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Rice: Increase the skillet heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and allow it to heat. Add the cooked rice, thawed peas and carrots, soy sauce, Onion Onion™ Seasoning, and the optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry the mixture continuously until everything is heated through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with seasoning.
- Combine Everything: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and break them up as you mix thoroughly with the rice and vegetable mixture, blending all flavors together evenly.
- Serve: Serve the fried rice immediately while it is hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with any neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil.
- For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste for saltiness preference.
- Use day-old rice for better texture; freshly cooked rice may become mushy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn for added color and nutrients.
