HOW TO MAKE FREID RICE

Prepare the Rice:

• If your rice is freshly cooked, spread it out on a baking sheet and let it cool slightly. Cold rice works better for fried rice as it’s less sticky.

Cook the Eggs:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

• Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

• Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.

• Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.

• Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the Vegetables:

• Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until they’re tender.

Combine Everything:

• Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

• Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to combine.

• Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet.

• If you’re using any cooked protein, add it at this point and stir to combine.

Finish and Serve:

• Add the chopped green onions and stir.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
