Ingredients
- 3 large eggs beaten lightly
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- ½ medium onion diced
- 1 cup carrots diced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger or 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic jarred, if you have garlic powder use 1/2 teaspoon
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce adjust this to taste as necessary at the end
- 3 cups leftover cold rice day old
Instructions
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and beat with a whisk or fork.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of butter into the pan and heat over high medium-high heat. Add diced onion, carrots, garlic, ginger and cook for about 3 minutes. Keep moving the vegetables around the pan with a wooden spatula until the vegetables have softened.
- Pour the frozen peas into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until just warm.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and turn the heat down to medium-low. I like to scoot the pan a little on the burner so it’s mostly the empty side of the pan over the burner.
- Add one tablespoon of butter to the empty side of the pan. Stir the eggs gently while cooking on half the pan until cooked. Keep pushing the eggs back towards the empty side of the pan, but don’t worry if a little egg gets in the vegetables.
- Chop any large pieces of egg with the spatula gently, then mix with the vegetables.
- Add the rice and mix with the egg and vegetable mixture. Take care to break up any large chunks of rice with the spatula. Drizzle soy sauce over the rice and stir until warmed all the way through. Garnish with optional green onions, then eat and enjoy!
Notes
- It's really helpful to have all of your ingredients measured and ready for this recipe, as once you get started you have to move fast!
