Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice (preferably cold)
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of diced cooked chicken or shrimp
- 1/2 cup of frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/2 cup of diced onions
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the eggs and other ingredients.
- Scramble the eggs: Add the beaten eggs to the hot skillet and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside for later use.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until they become translucent and fragrant, enhancing the flavor base of the fried rice.
- Add proteins and vegetables: Incorporate the diced cooked chicken or shrimp along with the thawed peas and carrots. Toss everything together to combine the flavors evenly.
- Fry the rice: Add the cold jasmine rice, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture thoroughly, breaking up any rice clumps to ensure a uniform texture and even seasoning.
- Combine eggs: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix them well with the rice and other ingredients for a balanced dish.
- Add green onions and season: Stir in the chopped green onions and season the dish with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Final cook: Continue to cook for a few more minutes until all ingredients are heated through and well combined, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Serve the fried rice hot, with additional soy sauce on the side if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- Using cold, day-old rice helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy by keeping the grains separate.
- You can substitute the chicken or shrimp with tofu or other proteins to customize the dish.
- Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce amounts based on preferred saltiness and flavor intensity.
- Add chopped fresh chili or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy twist.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the oyster sauce and replace with vegetarian oyster sauce or mushrooms sauce.
