Easy Fried Rice Recipe
Description
This fried rice begins by sautéing frozen peas and diced carrots in a blend of sesame and vegetable oils until tender. Eggs are then scrambled in the pan alongside the vegetables, providing protein and a soft texture contrast. Chilled cooked rice is added next, allowing the grains to separate without clumping.
Soy sauce seasons the mixture alongside salt and black pepper, distributing flavor evenly. Continued stirring heats the mixture thoroughly and allows ingredients to combine.
Finishing with sliced green onions adds a mild oniony brightness. This easy fried rice can serve as a simple meal or complement a variety of dishes, bringing familiar flavors and texture typical of homemade fried rice.
Refrigerate any leftovers in airtight containers and consume within five days to maintain freshness.
