Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice cooked per package directions
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ cup carrot diced
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package directions. After cooking, pour into a bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool white cooking the vegetables.
- In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add in the diced onion and carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and start to brown a little.
- Add the ginger and garlic, stir and cook for 1 more minute.
- Then add the butter and allow it to melt in the skillet.
- Stir in the rice.
- Add the soy sauce and continue cooking the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through.
- Make a well/hole in the center of the rice and add beaten eggs.
- Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds, then scramble and mix them into the rice.
- Take the skillet off the heat and add green onions to the fried rice.
Notes
- I like using jasmine rice or basmati rice.
- Use ginger paste instead of grating fresh ginger.
- Use ½ teaspoon of ginger powder instead of fresh ginger.
- Use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
- Spice it up - Add in 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha or garlic chili sauce with the soy sauce and add it in with the rice.
- Add more veggies? Add up to 2 cups of small diced broccoli, cauliflower, edamame, peas, etc. when sauteing the carrots.
- Add any kind of cooked meat like diced chicken, beef, pork, bacon or shrimp.
- Use any vegetable oil instead of sesame oil.
- Use an instant white rice or brown rice if desired.
- Leave out the eggs if you'd like or substitute diced tofu.
