Chinese Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients You'll Need:

Cooked rice (preferably day-old rice)

Eggs

Soy sauce

Sesame oil

Garlic, minced

Mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and bell peppers)

Green onions (scallions), chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prep Your Ingredients:

Cook and cool the rice ahead of time. It's best to use day-old rice for the perfect texture.

Cook the Eggs:

In a wok or large skillet, scramble the eggs until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same pan, stir-fry the minced garlic and mixed vegetables until tender-crisp.

Combine Everything:

Add the cooked rice to the pan along with soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir-fry to combine.

Add the Eggs:

Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Mix well with the rice and vegetables.

Season and Serve:

Season the fried rice with salt, pepper, and chopped green onions. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Tips for Success:

Use Cold Rice: Day-old rice works best because it's firmer and less sticky, resulting in perfect fried rice texture.

High Heat Cooking: Stir-fry over high heat to achieve that signature smoky flavor and avoid soggy rice.

Customize Your Rice: Feel free to add protein like shrimp, chicken, or tofu, and experiment with different vegetables based on your preference.
