Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups cold cooked rice
  • 1 medium white onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • 4 green onions (sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for one more minute.
  2. Stir in cold cooked rice, spreading it evenly in the pan. Allow it to fry undisturbed for about five minutes to develop crispy bits.
  3. Pour soy sauce over the rice, mix well, then add frozen peas, carrots, corn, and sesame oil. Stir until everything is heated through.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper; scramble them in the same skillet after removing the rice mixture.
  5. Combine scrambled eggs with the fried rice and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
