Ingredients

• 3 cups day-old cooked white rice (chilled is best)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or more, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola oil)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots blend (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced (separate white and green parts)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set but still slightly moist. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the cold, day-old rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. If using, add the frozen peas and carrots. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and well combined.
7. Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Gently fold them into the rice mixture.
8. Stir in the green parts of the green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious Easy Egg Fried Rice!
