Egg Fried Rice

Here's a simple and delicious recipe for egg fried rice:

Ingredients:

• Rice that has sat for a day serves as the base.

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, corn)

• One small onion, processed into tiny pieces.

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced.

• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste.

• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:

   • Cool freshly cooked rice on a baking sheet to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent the rice from becoming mushy.

2. Scramble the eggs:

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

   • Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the skillet. Beat eggs vigorously, transforming them into a thick, curdled mass. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the vegetables:

   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

   • Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.

   • Add the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender.

4. Combine rice and eggs:

   • Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

   • Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using). Spread rice uniformly with a wide, circular motion.

5. Add the eggs:

   • Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, breaking them up into small pieces.

   • Stir everything. Make sure the eggs mix well with the rice and veggies.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   • Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

   • Serve hot and enjoy!
