Easy Weeknight Fried Rice Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked white rice
3 Tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil) – I find Sesame Oil gives it more flavor.
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3-4 Tablespoons soy sauce
Directions:
On medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas/carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir until veggies are tender.
Lower the heat to medium low and push the veggies off to one side, then pour eggs on the other side of the skillet. Stir until the eggs are scrambled.
Now add the rice and soy sauce and mix all together well. Stir until thoroughly heated.
