Make this simple one-pan Better Than Take-Out Fried Rice recipe for a delicious side dish to go with a range of meals.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rice, (cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ large Vidalia onion, (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1 cup peas and carrots, (frozen)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • green onions
  • cilantro, (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or wok, preheat vegetable oil over medium heat and add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the garlic from burning.

  2. 2

    Add peas and carrots and cook until partially thawed, 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn the heat up to medium-high and add cooked rice. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until rice is nice and hot and starts to brown. Reduce heat and push rice to the sides of the pan, making a hole for the eggs.

  4. 4

    Crack the eggs into the middle of the pan and scramble. Once eggs are cooked, stir them into the rice.

  5. 5

    Mix soy sauce and sesame oil together and pour over rice. Stir until rice is evenly coated with sauce.

  6. 6

    Top with chopped green onions and/or cilantro, optional.
