Special Egg Fried Rice – Better Than Takeout!

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

1. Make sure your rice is cold and day-old for the best texture. If you don’t have day-old rice, cook it fresh and spread it out on a tray to cool quickly.
2. Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

1. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

Step 4: Fry the Rice

1. Increase the heat to high and add the cold rice to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice with your spatula.
2. Add the cooked eggs back into the skillet and mix well.

Step 5: Season and Serve

1. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir everything together until the rice is evenly coated.
2. Season with black pepper and mix well.
3. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
