Fried Rice – Don’t LOSE this recipe

Instructions

  1. Cook the Eggs:
    • Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add whisked eggs, scramble quickly until just cooked.
    • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    • Add 1 tbsp butter to the same pan.
    • Sauté carrots, onion, and peas until tender (3–4 minutes).
    • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Fry the Rice:
    • Add remaining butter, then stir in cooked rice.
    • Spread rice out in the pan, let it fry for a minute before stirring (gives a nice texture).
    • Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, breaking up clumps.
  4. Season & Combine:
    • Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil.
    • Add cooked eggs back to the pan.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Finish & Serve:
    • Garnish with green onions.
    • Serve hot as a side or add chicken, shrimp, pork, or tofu for a main dish.

Tip: Cold, leftover rice works best because it’s firm and won’t get mushy when fried.
