- 2 large eggs
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 medium green onions
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon neutral vegetable oil
- 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
- 4 cups cold cooked brown or white rice
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ¾ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Step 3: Sauté the Veggies
In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Toss in minced garlic and let it sauté until fragrant. Next, add the green onions and frozen peas with carrots. Stir it all together for about 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
Step 5: Flavor It Up
Incorporate the soy sauce, salt, ground white pepper, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Keep stirring everything together until all ingredients are combined and heated through.
Use Cold Rice: Freshly made rice can get mushy. Day-old rice works best because it’s drier.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches if necessary. It helps maintain a good texture and prevents steaming.
Taste As You Go: This allows for adjustments to your seasoning.
Experiment with Proteins: Toss shrimp, chicken, or tofu into the mix to build on flavors.
Garnish: A sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh cilantro on top adds a beautiful touch and elevates the dish.
