Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add peas and carrots and minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until tender, 8–10 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low and push the mixture off to one side.
  4. Pour eggs on the other side of the skillet and cook, stirring, until scrambled. Add rice and soy sauce. Mix everything together and cook until heated through.

Notes

  • Pro Tip. Use cold rice because it instantly begins to fry when it hits the hot pan, leaving the rice with a crisp outside and a warm inside, whereas freshly cooked rice can become soggy.
  • Variations: Add more of your favorite veggies in Step 2 along with the peas and carrots for added flavor. For added protein, you can also add any cooked meat or seafood, such as shrimp, pork, bacon, or chicken, when adding the rice and soy sauce.
