I made some yummy Fried Rice and enjoyed it so much I wondered why I haven’t tried making it at home before?…It’s so easy, and so good! I’ll definitely make it with chicken or shrimp next time!
Here’s my quick and easy recipe…
~ Easy Fried Rice ~
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup diced carrot
1/2 to 1 clove minced garlic
1 egg lightly scrambled
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
Soy sauce (I use low sodium)
Sesame oil
To a sauté pan or wok over med-high heat add butter. Next add onion and carrot-(I didn’t have any) and cook 2 minutes stirring until onions are slightly translucent. Add garlic and peas, stir to combine. Create a space in center of pan, add scrambled egg and cook until egg is done. Combine egg with other ingredients. Add cooked rice to pan and stir to combine. Add soy sauce (more or less to your taste) then stir to combine. Add a splash of *sesame oil-(don’t over do it, a little goes a long way, combine and taste before adding more!) *This is a must have ingredient for me for an authentic flavor.
Stir gently and continue stir frying until lightly browned. Serve and enjoy!
