Chinese Egg Fried Rice

 

Here's a delicious recipe for Chinese-style egg fried rice:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old rice works best)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3-4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

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

6. Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice and vegetables together for a couple of minutes until they are well mixed.
7. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) to the pan, and toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated with the sauces.
8. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix them in with the rice and vegetables.
9. Add salt and pepper to taste, and continue stir-frying for another minute or two until everything is heated through.
